1. A method for inference detecting a received signal in noise, comprising the steps of:
- coherently summing a plurality of samples of the received signal;
generating a correlation function phase signal, from the summed plurality of samples of the received signal, using a correlator phase detector;
phase centroiding, using a signal device, the correlation function phase signal to generate a phase centroid estimate vector;
comparing, using a comparator, a scalar value of the phase centroid estimate vector to background noise to detect the received signal.

Abstract
A delay device for delaying a received signal as a delayed-received signal, and a correlator for estimating a phase angle between the received signal and the delayed-received signal. A parametric encoder estimates a phase angle between the received signal and a delayed-received signal.
