Abstract

We compute an incoherent receiver for demodulation of signals with random phase in additive impulsive noise modeled as a bivariate isotropic Cauchy process. Monte-Carlo simulation clearly shows that the proposed Cauchy receiver has a significantly improved operating characteristic over the corresponding Gaussian receiver. Moreover, the Cauchy receiver is very robust in the entire class of bivariate isotropic symmetric alpha-stable impulsive noises
