Answer any five questions

All questions carry equal marks
---

1. a) Consider the following binary hypothesis testing problem

H1: Z=Y1+V
H2: Z=Y2+V
Where Z, Y1,V are vectors of dimensions N and V is the Gaussian with mean
zero and covariance matrix ∑ for equally likely hypothesis and minimum
probability of error criterion, find the optimum decision rule. The probability of
error for the case ∑=σ²I.
b) What is mean by null Hypothesis?

2. Explain the procedure to detect the signal from the received signal which is a
function of unknown parameters.

3. a) Compare linear and non-linear estimators.

b) Prove that conditional mean is the best estimate of the parameters in MAP
estimates.

4. Explain Neyman-Pearson criterion for RADAR and find detection probability in the
presence of Gaussian noise.

5. Explain how a matched filter is used for smoothing the signal against the noise?

6. Consider a signal ‘S’ received in Gaussian noise. The signal is known to be

uniformly distributed between –Sm and Sm. Estimate S using one sample
x1=S+n1
by ML,MS,MAP estimates.

7. a) Write a kalman filter algorithm for discrete time signals.

b) What are the applications of kalman filter?

8. Write a short note on:

a) Non random waveform estimation.
b) Spectral Decomposition.
