Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of low recognition rate of radar signal pulse modulation type under low signal to noise ratio(SNR), a radar signal recognition algorithm based on time-frequency feature extraction and residual neural network is proposed. The time-frequency feature extraction firstly performs chirp-based decomposition of the signal through the fractional Fourier transform, classifies the signal according to different combinations of chirp-based carrier frequency and frequency modulation, and sets the corresponding classification feature parameters. Then, the pseudo Wigner-Ville time-frequency distribution of the signal is calculated and Zernike moments is extracted. The above-mentioned characteristic parameters form a signal characteristic vector, and a residual neural network classifier is used to realize radar signal recognition. Simulation results show that the recognition accuracy can reach more than 93% when SNR is under -2 dB. At the same time, the robustness is well verified, and the algorithm complexity can meet the actual requirements.

Key words: radar signal identification, fractional Fourier transform, Chirp-based decomposition, Zernike moment, residual neural network
