Abstract

The recent work of Cheng and Stokes on the processing of clipped signals from two or three receivers is extended and generalised by removing a number of restrictions. In particular, there is no restriction on the number of receivers and the restrictions on the statistical properties of the signal and noise processes have been considerably relaxed.

Mathematically—Plackett's result is used to expand the orthant proabilities involved in increasing powers of the input signal to noise ratio.
