At the design stage, we assume that the cell under test contains a noise-like interferer in addition to colored noise and possible signal of interest. We show that the Wald test is equivalent to a recently proposed Rao test. We also observe that this Rao/Wald test possesses constant false alarm rate property in homogeneous environments. %K Adaptive detection %K Rao test %K Wald test %K Mismatched signals %K Constant false alarm rate (CFAR) %U http://asp.eurasipjournals.com/content/2013/1/14/abstract
