npwgnthresh
Detection SNR threshold for signal in white Gaussian noise
Syntax
Description
calculates the Detection SNR Threshold in decibels
for detecting a deterministic signal in white Gaussian noise. The detection uses the
Neyman-Pearson (NP) decision rule to achieve a specified probability of false alarm,
snrthresh
= npwgnthresh(pfa
)pfa
. This function uses a square-law detector.
