Ghost modes—false positives produced by RF demodulators—carry an operational cost.They waste computational resources, trigger spurious alarms and can mask true signals. Inreal-time systems, where performance criteria must be met every cycle[2], ghost hits competewith latency budgets and true hit rates. This paper quantifies the cost of ghost modes in asynthetic RF benchmark. We map iso-ghost … Continue reading Ghost Modes and the Cost of Over-Recovery in RF Demodulation
