This work addresses the problem of determining whether two multivariate random time series have the same power spectral density
(PSD), which has applications, for instance, in physical-layer security and cognitive radio. Remarkably, existing detectors for this
problem do not usually provide any kind of optimality. Thus, we study here the existence under the Gaussian assumption of optimal
invariant detectors for this problem, proving that the uniformly most powerful invariant test (UMPIT) does not exist. Thus, focusing on
close hypotheses, we show that the locally most powerful invariant test (LMPIT) only exists for univariate time series. In the multivariate
case, we prove that the LMPIT does not exist. However, this proof suggests two LMPIT-inspired detectors, one of which outperforms
previously proposed approaches, as computer simulations show.

AB - Detecting the presence of a white Gaussian signal distorted by a noisy time-varying channel is addressed by means of three different detectors. First, the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) is found for the case where the channel has no temporal structure, resulting in the well-known Bartlett’s test. Then it is shown that, under the transformation group given by scaling factors, a locally most powerful invariant test (LMPIT) does not exist. Two alternative approaches are explored in the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime: the first assigns a prior probability density function (pdf) to the channel (hence modeled as random), whereas the second assumes an underlying basis expansion model (BEM) for the (now deterministic) channel and obtains the maximum likelihood (ML) estimates of the parameters relevant for the detection problem. The performance of these detectors is evaluated via Monte Carlo simulation.

AB - Spectrum sensing is a key component of the Cognitive Radio paradigm. Typically, primary signals have to be detected with uncalibrated receivers at signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) well below decodability levels. Multiantenna detectors exploit spatial independence of receiver thermal noise to boost detection performance and robustness. We study the problem
of detecting a Gaussian signal with rank-P unknown spatial
covariance matrix in spatially uncorrelated Gaussian noise with
unknown covariance using multiple antennas. The generalized
likelihood ratio test (GLRT) is derived for two scenarios. In the
first one, the noises at all antennas are assumed to have the same (unknown) variance, whereas in the second, a generic diagonal noise covariance matrix is allowed in order to accommodate calibration uncertainties in the different antenna frontends. In the latter case, the GLRT statistic must be obtained numerically, for which an efficient method is presented. Furthermore, for asymptotically low SNR, it is shown that the GLRT does admit a closed form, and the resulting detector performs well in practice. Extensions are presented in order to account for unknown temporal correlation in both signal and noise, as well as frequency-selective channels.
