INTRODUCTION
Radio spectrum is a limited resource and it has to be used
efficiently. Spectrum sensing is the key component of
cognitive radio technology.
C. Cyclostationary Feature Detection The probability of false alarm and probability of detection
can be computed if TW>100 [16].
This method depends on Cyclostationary process. When the
statistical properties increase with time, the auto correlation
function is the cyclic process with time [12]. (10)
In this paper our contribution is to find the probability of
miss detection and probability of false alarm over AWGN
(11)
channels and Rayleigh fading channels. Further the system
model of an energy detector is described in the next section
and evaluation of conditional probability of detection and
probability of false alarm is also explained.
