Abstract:

Low probability of intercept (LPI) radar is a new type of radar with strong anti-jamming ability and low interception characteristics. Accurate and efficient recognition of it has become a difficult problem in waveform recognition of radar confrontation. Aiming at the structural intelligent optimization problem of the mainstream classifier convolution neural network (CNN) in this direction, a waveform recognition algorithm based on particle swarm optimization (PSO)-CNN is proposed. The algorithm uses the optimization characteristics of PSO to automatically build CNN structure with indefinite layers, layer types and layer parameters in a large range, evaluate and iteratively optimize it. The algorithm uses a combination of recognition accuracy and network complexity to measure indicators, the proportion of the two can be adjusted according to requirements to achieve the choice of accuracy and lightness. The CNN structure obtained by the algorithm achieves better LPI radar waveform recognition effect than nine classic CNN structures. And the algorithm avoids the lack of intelligence and objectivity of artificially selecting CNN hyper parameters during radar waveform recognition, and improves the adaptability and efficiency of the selecting CNN structure.

Key words: low probability of intercept (LPI) radar, waveform recognition, convolution neural network (CNN) optimization, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm
