  • Abstract
    A new upper bound to the probability of error in detecting one of M equally probable signals in additive white Gaussian noise is presented. This bound is easy to calculate, can be applied to any signal set. It is always better than the union and minimum distance bounds. Examples demonstrate the use of the bound
