We consider the problem of detecting a known signal with\ constant magnitude immersed in noise of unknown variance,
when the propagation channel is frequency-flat and randomly
time-varying within the observation window. A Basis Expansion
Model with random coefficients is used for the channel,\ and a Generalized Likelihood Ratio approach is adopted in\ order to cope with deterministic nuisance parameters. The\ resulting scheme can be seen as a generalization of the well-known
Matched Filter detector, to which it reduces for timeinvariant
channels. Closed-form analytical expressions are\ provided for the distribution of the test statistic under both\ hypotheses, which allow to assess the detection performance.
