Abstract

Identifying a maximally-separated set of signals is important in the design of modems.  The notion of optimality is dependent on the model chosen to describe noise in the measurements; while some analytic results can be derived under the assumption of Gaussian noise, no such techniques are known for choosing signal acts in the non-Gaussian case. To obtain numerical solutions for non-Gaussian detectors, minimax problems are transformed into nonlinear programs,resulting in a novel formulation yielding problems with relatively few variables and many inequality constraints. Using sequential quadratic programming, optimal signal sets are obtained for a variety of noise distributions.
