Energy detectors are optimum to detect uncorrelated Gaussian signals or generalized likelihood ratio tests to detect completely unknown signals; in both cases, background noise must be uncorrelated Gaussian. However, energy detectors degrade when background noise is non-independent and non-Gaussian. An extension is presented in this paper to deal with this situation. Independence is achieved by means of a matrix linear transformation derived from independent component analysis. Non-Gaussianity is avoided by applying a scalar non-linear function to every element of the linearly transformed observation vector. Practical procedures for estimating the linear and nonlinear transformations are given in the paper. A SNR enhancement factor has been defined for the weak signal case, which is indicative of the expected improvement of the proposed extension. Some simulations illustrate the achieved improvements.
