摘要: This letter proposes robust nonparametric cyclic detectors based on the spatial sign and magnitude rank concepts. The proposed are single-cycle exploiting known (conjugate) autocorrelation of signal interest. Cyclostationarity allows distinguishing among different signals emitters that exhibit distinct cyclostationary properties. asymptotic distributions established under null hypothesis when only noise is present. Simulation results demonstrate performance detection algorithms in both Gaussian heavy-tailed non-Gaussian environments.
