description Abstract This paper designs the locally optimal detector (LOD) in additive white impulsive noise with unknown distribution. Unlike traditional LODs derived from a known or approximated noise probability density function (PDF), the LOD proposed in this paper is achieved by designing the zero-memory non-linearity (ZMNL) function based on real data. After the PDF estimation in a nonparametric way by a kernel method, the ZMNL function is designed as a piecewise differentiable function consisting of a polynomial function and inverse proportional functions. Then, we analyze the detection performance and develop the constant false alarm ratio technique. Simulation results show that the LOD design is near-optimal in α-stable noise and the optimal in real atmospheric data, compared with the maximum likelihood detector of α-stable distribution.
