New Multiple Antennas Method based Energy Detector for Cognitive Radio over Fading Channels

Abstract

this paper we presented a DSP processor to be used as a baseband energy detectorbased spectrum sensingfor cognitive radio (CR) under fading channels. We Derived expression for the average probability of detection over Rayleigh fading channels in easiest form and Nakagami-m channels with no diversity. Novelties of this work came from proposing a multiple antennas signal detection technique for spectrum sensing in a multipath fading environment. Without involving the sampling theorems and the accompanying approximation, we derive closed-form expressions for the probability of detection and false alarm over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels for the proposed method. The proposed technique is a low complexity scheme by using two energy detectors and not need prior information about the channel gain in comparison with other methods.
