Abstract

An uncertainty class of additive noise probability density functions (pdfs) satisfying a constraint on divergence from a prescribed nominal is analyzed in the context of antipodal communication. From within this class, the noise pdf that maximizes detection error probability is determined for both zero-threshold and maximum-likelihood detection strategies. An optional additional constraint on SNR is also considered, and asymptotic behavior is studied for vanishing divergence tolerance.
