Performance Evaluation of Postdetection Integrators with Partially Correlated Noise

A simple procedure for calculating receiver operating characteristics (ROC) for postdetection integration of arbitrary partially correlated noise samples is presented. The approach is based on the application of the ¿effective number of independent integrated noise samples¿ to the classical theory of Marcum and Swerling and has been justified by Monte-Carlo simulation.
