Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radar radiation source identification technology, specifically relating to a method for identifying multiple radar radiation source signals based on an improved VMD-RNN. Background Technology

[0002] The requirements for radar radiation source identification have evolved from the early identification of a limited number of simple radar signals to the efficient and accurate identification of multiple targets under complex electromagnetic environments, which has greatly increased the difficulty of radar radiation source identification.

[0003] Deep learning models have strong learning capabilities. In recent years, researchers have applied deep learning to radar radiation source identification. By constructing deep neural networks, complex low-level signal features can be transmitted through the neural network to achieve nonlinear function approximation. The computer automatically learns and obtains high-level feature quantities from the data without the need for manual design of feature parameters. It has strong generalization ability and can extract information features that characterize the essence of the data, thereby completing the classification and identification of radar radiation sources.

[0004] Current research focuses on two main directions. One is to extract features from radiation source signals using supervised learning for classification and identification, with CNNs being a typical deep learning model. Leveraging the powerful performance of CNNs in computer vision tasks, the radar radiation source signals are transformed to extract their two-dimensional image features (time-frequency distribution features are commonly used) as samples to train the CNN model, which is then used for classification and identification. The second direction involves extracting features from radiation source signals using unsupervised learning, training the model, then using the backpropagation (BP) algorithm for supervised fine-tuning of the model parameters, and finally using a classifier for identification. Typical deep learning models in this direction are DBN and SAE.

[0005] Disadvantages of existing technology:

[0006] 1. Deep learning requires a large number of samples. 2. Interference between signals from multiple radar sources makes it impossible for a single deep learning method to achieve a high recognition probability. Summary of the Invention
