We derive a detector function for quantum two-mode squeezing (QTMS) radar and noise radar that is based on the use of a generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test for distinguishing between the presence and absence of a target. In addition to an explicit expression for the GLR detector, we derive a detector function which approximates the GLR detector in the limit where the target is small, far away, or otherwise difficult to detect. When the number of integrated samples is large, we derive a theoretical expression for the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the radar when the GLR detector is used. When the number of samples is small, we use simulations to understand the ROC curve behavior of the detector. One interesting finding is that there exists a parameter regime in which a previously-studied detector outperforms the GLR detector, contrary to the intuition that LR-based tests are optimal or nearly so. This is because neither the Neyman–Pearson lemma, nor the Karlin–Rubin theorem which generalizes the lemma to composite hypotheses, hold in this particular problem. However, the GLR detector remains a good choice for target detection in certain regimes.
