Multipath detection of stochastic transient processes

This paper reports on the detection of Gaussian stochastic transients in multipath environments described by random parameters. The solutions developed herein correspond to quadratic processors, with low computational cost and robust to changes in the statistical models of the channel. As a consequence, only a small amount of a-priori information is necessary to derive the parameters of the processor. A recursive form of the processor is also proposed, allowing for the recursive detection of the signal replicas arriving at the receiver.
