This paper analyzes the performance of an energy detector over wireless channels with composite multipath fading and shadowing effects. These effects are modeled by using the and ...
A simple figure of merit to describe the performance of an energy detector is desirable. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, denoted (AUC), is such a ...
Lack of robustness against noise uncertainty is a bottleneck of current spectrum sensing strategies to detect the primary signals. Due to noise uncertainty, the performance of tra...
—Cognitive radio (CR) is seen as one of the revolutionary techniques for future spectrum utilization. The first and probably the most challenging task for CR is to detect/sense t...
—An energy detector designed in a 0.18μm CMOS technology and intended for a non-coherent impulse-radio UWB receiver is presented in this paper. The proposed circuit exploits the...
