Abstract:

The application of frequency hopping communication improves the anti-jamming and anti-interception ability of military equipment greatly, making the frequency hopping countermeasure technology to face severe challenges. In order to find a way out of the difficulty in selecting structural elements in traditional parameter estimation method of frequency hopping signal based on morphological and to improve the estimation accuracy, a joint blind parameter estimation method of frequency hopping (FH) signal based on adaptive morphology is presented. Firstly, the short time Fourier transform (STFT) is used to obtain the spectrogram. Then, the knowledge of structural element size is acquired from time axis projection of the spectrogram, an adaptive morphological filter is designed to suppress the noise. And the FH pattern is extracted, from which the FH parameters are preliminarily estimated. Finally, the least square estimation (LSE) is introduced for more accurate estimation of hopping period and hopping time. Simulation results show that hopping frequency, hopping period and hopping time can be estimated at the same time, and no prior knowledge is needed. The method maintains good estimation performance even in complex communication environment.

Key words: frequency hopping (FH) signal, parameter estimation, short time Fourier transform (STFT), morphology, least square estimation (LSE)
