摘要: A highly reliable, accurate, and efficient method of calculating the probability detection, P/sub N/(X,Y), for N incoherently integrated samples, where X is constant received signal-to-noise ratio a single pulse Y normalized threshold level, presented. The useful range parameters easily exceeds most needs. On VAX/11 computer with double precision calculations, better than 13-place absolute accuracy normally achieved. There gradual loss increasing parameter values. For example, N=10/sup 9/, both NX near 10/sup 7/, can drop to ten places. function N/(X,Y) be equated generalized Marcum Q-function, Q/sub m/( alpha , beta ). corresponding limits on are roughly 4500 60000 ultimate (INTEGER*4) limit. >
