Abstrakt: The performance of the energy detector is evaluated using ambient noise data from several ocean acoustic environments. Estimates of the false alarm probability are presented as a function of the detection threshold for each environment. Estimated values for the corresponding minimum detectable signal-to-noise ratio (MDS) are also given for an artificially generated white Gaussian signal. The results presented indicate that nonstationary and non-Gaussian noise statistics can have a significant impact on the relationship between the false alarm probability and the detection threshold. This threshold adjustment results in a serious degradation of energy detector performance in terms of the MDS for some non-Gaussian noise environments.
