Abstract
It is always an interesting research topic for digital receiver (DRX) designers to develop a DRX with (1) ultrawide instantaneous bandwidth (IBW), (2) high sensitivity, (3) fine time-of-arrival-measurement resolution (TMR), and (4) fine frequency-measurement resolution (FMR) for weak signal detection. This is because designers always want their receivers to have the widest possible IBW to detect far away and/or weak signals. As the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) rate increasing, the modern DRX IBW increases continuously. To improve the signal detection based on blocking FFT (BFFT) method, this paper introduces the new concept of accumulatively increasing receiver sensitivity (AIRS) for DRX design. In AIRS, a very large number of frequency-bins can be used for a given IBW in the time-to-frequency transform (TTFT), and the DRX sensitivity is cumulatively increased, when more samples are available from high-speed ADC. Unlike traditional FFT-based TTFT, the AIRS can have both fine TMR and fine FMR simultaneously. It also inherits all the merits of the BFFT, which can be implemented in an embedded system. This study shows that AIRS-based DRX is more efficient than normal FFT-based DRX in terms of using time-domain samples. For example, with a probability of false alarm rate of 10−7, for N=220 frequency-bins with TMR = 50 nSec, FMR = 2.4414 KHz, IBW > 1 GHz and ADC rate at 2.56 GHz, AIRS-based DRX detects narrow-band signals at about −42 dB of input signal-to-noise ratio (Input-SNR), and just uses a little less than N/2 real-samples. However, FFT-based DRX have to use all N samples. Simulation results also show that AIRS-based DRX can detect frequency-modulated continuous wave signals with ±0.1, ±1, ±10 and ±100 MHz bandwidths at about −39.4, −35.1, −30.2, and −25.5 dB of Input-SNR using about 264.6 K, 104.7 K, 40.2 K and 18.3 K real-samples, respectively, in 220 frequency-bins for TTFT.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
