Signal Detection in Generalized Gaussian Distribution Noise With Nakagami Fading Channel

A fractional order moments-based detector is proposed for the detection of weak signals in additive impulsive noise environment assumed as generalized Gaussian distribution with properly selected parameter values. The asymptotic detection performance is derived and compared with some traditional detectors optimized for operations in Gaussian noise with Nakagami fading communication channels. The analytical and computer simulation results of the fractional order moment-based detector are shown for signal detection with fading channels in the impulsive noise.
