Spectrum Detection Techniques Energy Detector Requires a prior knowledge of the system backgroundnoise Matched Filtering Auto-correlation Detection Require a prior knowledge of the primary system signal Maximum-MinimumEigenValueDetection
Maximum-MinimumEigenValueDetection (MMEVD) λmax Signal frequency components α Eigen values of the auto correlation Matrix of the signal 2 λmin = σn
Maximum-MinimumEigenValueDetection (MMEVD) Recieved Signal r(t) Uponpredefinedthresholdγ of the ratioλmax/ λmin the decission is madeif it is a signal or just noise MMEVD tests the extent of the flatnessof the spectrum Filtering is a problimaticwhen scanning for sub-bands is to takeplace
RectangularFiltering for sub-bandsspectrum scanning with MMEVD Solution: Rectangular Filtering , i.e. talking the spectrum lines lie inside the sub-band of interest and throw away the rest Time Domain Signals Do MMEVD
Measured BW : 10 MHz • # Sub-channels: 5 (2MHz each) MeasurementsResults
Conclusions • Sub-bands spectrum scanning is feasible with rectangular filtering and MMEVD • MMEVD introduces probability of false alarm much less than the one introduced by Energy Detection
