Abstract:
1. A signal detection apparatus comprising: a detection target candidate selection unit configured to select a particular detection target signal from among plural candidates of detection target signals that are possibly included in a received signal; a candidate signal calculation unit configured to calculate a cyclic autocorrelation value at a center coordinate point specified by at least a cyclic parameter and a shift parameter of the particular detection target signal; a common area calculation unit configured to calculate a cyclic autocorrelation value of each of common coordinate points, each defined by a cyclic parameter and a shift parameter and each belonging to a common area used commonly for different detection target signals; a test statistic calculation unit configured to calculate a test statistic of the particular detection target signal; and a signal determination unit configured to determine presence or absence of the particular detection target signal according to a comparison result between the test statistic and a threshold, wherein the test statistic calculation unit calculates the test statistic by using the cyclic autocorrelation value in each of the common coordinate points belonging to the common area as cyclic autocorrelation values in common coordinate points different from the center coordinate point in an area including the center coordinate point.
