Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of complex radar emitter recognition, a recognition method based on time-frequency feature extraction and multi-level jumper residual network (MLJ-RN) is proposed. Firstly, the smoothed pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution (SPWVD) of emitter signals is calculated, a time-frequency image is generated to express the essential characteristics of the signal, and the image is preprocessed to retain the subtle differences of the signal features. Then a residual unit connected by multi-level jumpers is designed, a multi-level jumper residual network is constructed on this basis, the fine features of the adjacent convolution layers of the time-frequency image are learned and recognized, and the random gradient descent method is used to train the residual network. Finally, through the adjustment of the network, the parameters of the network are optimized to enhance the deep feature extraction ability of the signal. The simulation results show that when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is -5 dB, the overall recognition probability of the method for 12 types of radar emitter signals reaches 95.1%, which verifies the effectiveness of the method in identifying radar signals at low SNRs.

Key words: time frequency feature, emitter recognition, deep learning, multi-level jumper
