Abstract
The classical problem is considered of locating a fading sinusoidal signal known to be present in one of several frequency " cells," each of which contains additive white Gaussian noise. The signal fading is assumed to follow the popular Rayleigh distribution, but generalizations tions to non-Rayleigh fading are included in terms of the " in" distribution due to Nakagami. The channel observation time is allowed to be either predetermined or variable (corresponding, respectively, to " fixed sample size" and " sequential" reception), and the practically important situation of intermittent signal transmissions is also examined. Results are in the form of optimal and near-optimal receiver structures, and of measures of performance.Keywords
