The modified probabilistic neural network as a nonlinear correlator detector

A nonlinear correlator detector for the detection of a signal class with some intra class variance is developed using the modified probabilistic neural network and the general regression neural network. An application, involving the detection of regular tone bursts transmitted over a poor and noisy radio channel subjected to fading, random noise and impulse noise effects, is used to show the effectiveness of the method as compared to a linear correlato
