Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radar signal recognition technology, and particularly relates to an automatic radar model identification method and system that combines intra-pulse and inter-pulse features. Background Technology

[0002] Radar emitter identification (EID) is a crucial core of electronic intelligence reconnaissance. By analyzing and identifying intercepted enemy radar signals, it provides commanders with battlefield situational information and tactical decision-making information. With the rapid development of electronic science and technology, traditional radar signal identification methods based on pulse description words (PDWs), including three-dimensional features such as pulse width (PW), carrier frequency (RF), and repetition period (PRI), are no longer sufficient to cope with today's complex battlefield electromagnetic environment. Furthermore, existing technologies suffer from problems such as the overlapping and blurred boundaries of different radar signal parameters in complex electromagnetic environments, and the unavoidable pulse splitting. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design an automatic radar signal identification method that combines intra-pulse and inter-pulse features.

[0003] Based on the above analysis, the problems and shortcomings of the existing technology are as follows:

[0004] Traditional radar signal reconnaissance methods based on pulse descriptors, including pulse width, carrier frequency, and repetition period (three-dimensional features), are no longer sufficient to cope with today's complex battlefield electromagnetic environment. Existing radar signal reconnaissance equipment can only perform template matching and identification of signals based on traditional three-dimensional features. This leads to an impact on the accuracy of target identification when two or more radars have overlapping parameters and blurred boundaries in the three-dimensional features. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides an automatic radar model identification method and system that combines intra-pulse and inter-pulse features, aiming to solve the problems of low accuracy and difficulty in avoiding pulse splitting in the traditional template matching identification method for radar signals in complex electromagnetic environments.

[0006] This invention is implemented as follows: an automatic radar model identification method combining intra-pulse and inter-pulse features includes:

[0007] A step-by-step identification method is adopted, which combines traditional feature parameter template matching, deep convolutional neural networks, and intrapulse parameter analysis. The first level is based on EDW (Emitter Discrepancy)... The system uses a feature parameter matching method to identify radar signals. When the identification result is only a Type 1 radar signal, the result is directly pushed. When the identification result is a Type 2 or higher radar signal, it enters the second-level identification stage. The second level uses a convolutional neural network to classify radar signal modulation methods (including linear frequency modulation, phase coding, conventional pulse (no modulation within the pulse), frequency coding, composite modulation, nonlinear frequency modulation, etc.) based on time-frequency images. This aims to distinguish radar platforms with similar carrier frequency, pulse width, and repetition period but different intra-pulse modulation methods in the first-level identification. When the classification result is still a Type 2 or higher radar signal, it enters the third-level identification stage. In the third level, if the classification results of the first-level identification based on feature parameter matching and the second-level identification based on intra-pulse modulation method are still multiple types of radar, the system performs intra-pulse parameter analysis of the radar intermediate frequency signal for the linear frequency modulation signal and phase coding signal classified in the second-level identification, and performs bandwidth calculation for other signals such as conventional pulse (no modulation within the pulse) and composite modulation. The calculated parameter values ​​are matched with the radar radiation source model database with tolerance. The final identification result of the radar signal is pushed through a multi-parameter joint classification method.

[0008] Furthermore, the automatic radar model identification method based on the combined intra-pulse and inter-pulse features includes the following steps:

[0009] Step 1: Construct a radar signal classification model;

[0010] Step two: Conduct radar signal classification training and identification;

[0011] Step 3: Update the radar signal classification model.

[0012] Furthermore, the construction of the radar signal classification model in step one includes:

[0013] The classification method is divided into three levels. The core idea is to gradually narrow the classification and recognition range. The first level is classification based on feature parameter matching. The second level is classification of radar signal intra-pulse modulation mode based on convolutional neural network of time-frequency image under the condition of classification of the first level. (Under this classification model, the intra-pulse modulation mode of radar signal is classified, specifically including: linear frequency modulation signal, phase-coded signal, conventional pulse (no intra-pulse modulation) signal, frequency-coded signal, nonlinear frequency modulation signal, and composite modulation signal). The third level is recognition based on intra-pulse parameter analysis under the condition of classification of the first level and classification of the second level.

[0014] Furthermore, the construction of the radar signal classification model in step one includes:

[0015] Part 1, the construction of the radar parameter model database, includes:

[0016] (1) Store the clarified radar intermediate frequency signal and sorted parameters, including radar time domain waveform, intra-pulse parameters and inter-pulse parameters. The inter-pulse parameters include the sorted pulse repetition period PRI, carrier frequency RF, and pulse width PW. The intra-pulse parameters include signal bandwidth (B), frequency modulation slope (y) of linear frequency modulation signal, symbol width (μ) of phase coded signal, and encoding method (z).

[0017] (2) Based on the detected and clarified radar parameter data, establish a corresponding radar radiation source model database S (hereinafter referred to as database S). The fields in database S include: radar signal carrier frequency (RF), pulse width (PW), pulse repetition period (PRI), time-frequency image (PIC) after time-frequency transformation of a single pulse, intra-pulse modulation type (Modu), signal bandwidth (B), frequency modulation slope (y) of linear frequency modulation signal, symbol width (μ) of phase coded signal, encoding method (z), and radar model (Target).

[0018] Part 2 involves the construction of a convolutional neural network model based on time-frequency images. This model establishes a convolutional neural network model for the intra-pulse modulation of radar signals.

[0019] (1) After the radar time-domain signal obtained in step (1) of Part 1 is transformed by time-frequency conversion, signals with the same modulation mode and different signal-to-noise ratios are selected to obtain several time-frequency image sets λ1.

[0020] (2) Use the time-frequency image set λ1 obtained in step (1) of Part 2 to establish radar signal intra-pulse modulation mode classification dataset λ2 and test set λ3 respectively;

[0021] (3) Construct a convolutional neural network, input the time-frequency image dataset λ2 into the convolutional neural network for training, form a primary classification neural network model, and use the test set λ3 to verify the accuracy of the model.

[0022] Furthermore, in step (1), time-frequency transformation methods such as short-time Fourier transform (STFT) are used to perform time-frequency transformation on the radar intermediate frequency signal to obtain several time-frequency images.

[0023] The convolutional neural network structure in step (3) of Part 2 includes a network structure with N convolutional layers, M pooling layers, and K fully connected layers, where N, M, and K are integers greater than or equal to 2; the activation function of the N convolutional layers is the ReLU activation function, and softmax is used for multi-target classification. The convolutional kernel size is m*m, where m is an odd integer greater than 3 and less than 31. The output is the direct classification and recognition of the corresponding radar signal intra-pulse modulation type or a certain type of special intra-pulse modulation method.

[0024] Part 3 involves analyzing and inputting the intra-pulse modulation parameters of signals such as linear frequency modulation, phase coding, conventional pulse (no intra-pulse modulation), and composite modulation into the database S. The frequency modulation slope y is calculated for linear frequency modulation signals, the symbol width μ and coding method z are calculated for phase coding signals, and the signal bandwidth B is calculated for other modulation methods such as conventional pulse (no intra-pulse modulation) and composite modulation.

[0025] Furthermore, the radar signal classification training and identification in step two includes:

[0026] (1) When a new radar signal is detected, the sorted radar signal includes three parameters: carrier frequency (CF), repetition period (PRI) and pulse width. The three parameters of the signal are compared and queried with tolerance with the three template parameters in the database S. The target is identified at the first level within the set tolerance range.

[0027] (2) Under the first-level recognition condition, when there is one and only one target result that matches the template data in the database S, the recognition result is directly pushed to the user;

[0028] (3) Under the first-level recognition condition, when there are two or more target results matching the template data in the database S, the second-level signal recognition process is carried out.

[0029] (4) Among the multiple radar signal boundaries that appeared in the previous step, the pulse signal r to be identified is... x After performing time-frequency conversion to form a time-frequency image, it is input into the second part of the model for secondary recognition, and the classification result of the modulation mode is output.

[0030] (5) Input the output modulation method identification result into the model of Part 3, which is a signal with modulation method such as conventional pulse (no modulation within the pulse), frequency coding, nonlinear frequency modulation, and composite modulation. Output the signal bandwidth calculation result under the same modulation method. Establish template data with radar radiation source signal model database S, perform database statement comparison query with tolerance, and push the identification result.

[0031] (6) Analyze the intra-pulse modulation parameters of the output modulation method identification results as linear frequency modulation signal and phase-coded signal, calculate the frequency modulation slope of the signal to form data parameter y, calculate the encoding method z and symbol width μ of the phase-coded signal, establish template data with radar radiation source signal model database S, perform database statement comparison query with tolerance, and push the identification results.

[0032] Furthermore, the radar signal classification model update in step three includes:

[0033] (1) In step two (1), when there is no result in matching the sorted signal with the template data in the database S, the user is prompted that there is no radar signal template matching. The user can update the parameters of the database S and further filter unknown signals in the feature parameter matching.

[0034] (2) Label the newly detected radar signals with unknown modulation methods, import them into the training dataset for retraining, and update the convolutional neural network model.

[0035] (3) Analyze the intra-pulse and inter-pulse parameters of the newly detected radar signals and update the database S.

[0036] Another object of the present invention is to provide an automatic radar model identification system based on the combined intra-pulse and inter-pulse features of the aforementioned automatic radar model identification method, wherein the automatic radar model identification system based on the combined intra-pulse and inter-pulse features includes:

[0037] The model building module is used to build radar signal classification models;

[0038] The training and recognition module is used for classification training and recognition of radar signals;

[0039] The model update module is used to update the radar signal classification model.

[0040] Another object of the present invention is to provide a computer device comprising a memory and a processor, the memory storing a computer program, which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform the following steps:

[0041] A three-level classification method is adopted, which combines feature parameter matching, deep learning convolutional neural networks, and intra-pulse parameter estimation. The first level is the inter-pulse classification based on carrier frequency, repetition period, and pulse width, which is based on the traditional feature parameter matching method. The second level is the image classification using convolutional neural networks, which realizes secondary classification of radar signal modulation modes based on image recognition. The third level is the classification after radar intra-pulse parameter estimation, which realizes the three-level classification and recognition of radar signals using a time-frequency domain multi-parameter joint classification method.

[0042] Another objective of this invention is to provide an information data processing terminal for implementing the aforementioned automatic radar model identification system based on combined intra-pulse and inter-pulse characteristics.

[0043] Based on the above technical solutions and the technical problems solved, the advantages and positive effects of the technical solution to be protected by this invention are as follows:

[0044] The automatic radar signal identification method based on the combined intra-pulse and inter-pulse features provided by this invention combines multi-level classification methods, utilizes multi-parameter joint verification, and introduces a deep learning framework to improve accuracy while achieving rapid radar signal identification.

[0045] This invention analyzes radar intra-pulse parameters to obtain the intra-pulse modulation characteristics of radar signals, and improves the accuracy of radar signal recognition by combining inter-pulse and intra-pulse radar signal parameters.

[0046] This invention utilizes the traditional feature parameter matching method to achieve primary radar model identification based on feature parameters. In cases of ambiguity, a convolutional neural network is used to achieve secondary classification of radar signal modulation methods based on time-frequency images. In cases of ambiguity in secondary classification, intra-pulse parameter analysis is used to achieve tertiary identification of radar signals such as intra-pulse linear frequency modulation, phase coding, and conventional pulses (without intra-pulse modulation), which can effectively improve the accuracy of radar signal identification.

[0047] In the field of engineering applications of radar signal recognition, only the traditional feature parameter matching method is used. The present invention uses a method that combines feature parameter matching, convolutional neural network time-frequency image classification, and intra-pulse parameter feature combination for recognition, which increases the dimensional information of signal recognition and improves the reliability and accuracy of the signal recognition method.
