Abstract:

A large number of sensors are deployed in the new generation phased array radar for T/R components, which provides prerequisites for their data-driven fault diagnosis. However, actual detection data lack labels representing specific fault mode. Combining the advantages of deep belief network (DBN) in feature self-learning and the ability of auto-encoder (AE) to reconstruct input data, a fault feature extraction and intelligent diagnosis method based on DBN-AE semi-supervised learning model is proposed, and its structure is optimized by the firework algorithm (FWA). The original unlabeled data is directly used to train the DBN-AE model to extract deep feature, then the relation model between deep features and fault modes is built through supervised retraining. The proposed method is verified to enhance the fault diagnosis accuracy and intelligence of the T/R module on a certain phased array radar.

Key words: phased array radar, T/R module, fault diagnosis, deep belief network (DBN), deep auto-encoder (AE), firework algorithm (FWA)
