Trimmed Generalized Sign and Modified Median Detectors for Multiple Target Situations

The trimmed generalized sign (TGS) nonparametric detector is introduced. The TGS and the modified median detector (MMD) are considered in situations when more than one target is present. Their performance is obtained through Monte Carlo simulations and compared with that of the generalized sign (GS) detector when detecting nonfluctuating signal in Gaussian noise.
