Signal Bandwidth Impact on Maximum-Minimum Eigenvalue Detection

The impact of the signal bandwidth and observation bandwidth on the detection performance of the maximum-minimum eigenvalue detector is studied in this letter. The considered signals are the Gaussian signals. The optimum ratio between the signal and the observation bandwidth is analytically proven to be 0.5 when reasonable values of the system dimensionality are used. The analytical proof is verified by simulations.
