Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of interference perception, and particularly relates to a method for sorting interference signals with mergeable parameter adaptive multi-density clustering. Background Art

[0002] In interference perception applications, a monitoring receiver receives pulse signals generated by different interference radiation sources, and these signals are interleaved on the time scale, causing difficulties for subsequent interference signal recognition. The task of sorting interference pulse signals, as a prerequisite for sensing and identifying sensing signals, aims to accurately separate the pulse streams of different interferences. However, with the sharp increase in the density and complexity of the electromagnetic environment, the complexity and dexterity of intentional interference increase. Not only do the interference signals emitted by different interference sources vary, but the interference emitted by a single interference source also exhibits different patterns, making it increasingly difficult to sort and identify interference pulse signals.

[0003] Existing pulse signal sorting methods are divided into two categories, namely methods based on TOA conversion and methods based on multiple parameters. Methods based on TOA transformation have been widely applied to the deinterleaving of pulse signals with periodic PRIs, especially for pulse signals with constant PRIs. The basic idea of the TOA-based deinterleaving method is to first find the PRI period, and then search for the target radiation source pulses with determined values from the pulse stream. The cumulative difference histogram, sequence difference histogram, and difference of the TOA matrix can be used to determine the PRI period. However, these RSS methods based on TOA transformation are very sensitive to the distribution and measurement error of TOA. To overcome the dependence on TOA, the radiation source signal sorting method based on multiple parameters attempts to solve the RSS problem from the perspective of multiple PDW clustering, including K-means clustering, support vector clustering, fuzzy clustering, and density clustering. However, the K-means clustering method does not have the ability to handle non-spherical clusters, and the performance of support vector clustering and fuzzy clustering both severely depends on the previous initialization settings. Although density-based clustering methods, such as the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm, can detect clusters of arbitrary shapes, it is difficult to find the optimal density and distance thresholds, namely the MinPts and Eps parameters. In the field of data mining, DBSCAN parameter adaptive selection methods have been studied, and the k-dist curve is mainly used. However, these methods are very sensitive to the selection of key parameters and the distribution of the dataset. Moreover, since the above methods often have only one set of parameters, it is difficult to show good performance for PDW datasets with multi-density in complex electromagnetic environments. Summary of the Invention

The calculation formula is: Use and to send the pulse descriptor matrix into the newly designed iterative IterDBSCAN algorithm for clustering.

The calculation formula is: Then, update the clustering , The noise data is used as the input for the next iteration ; When all the Eps values in are traversed, the clustering process ends and returns the clustering results and noise .

[0018] Embodiment Referring to Figure 1 and FIG. 2, this embodiment provides a method for sorting interference signals with mergeable parameter - adaptive multi - density clustering, including the following steps: First, in step S1, a radar signal is received by an interference-aware receiver, and there is an interference signal in the radar signal. Pulse description words (PDWs) are extracted from the interference signal, including key information such as carrier frequency (RF), pulse width (RW), and pulse repetition interval (PRI).

[0019] Then, in step S2, within an interference-aware period T, the interference-aware period T can be set to 1 s. Assume that N pulses are collected at the receiving end within the interference-aware period T. Then, the corresponding PDW sequence, i.e., the PDW matrix, is expressed as , where represents the th PDW vector. Next, normalization processing is performed on the above PDW matrix according to features.

[0020] In step S3, the problem of sorting interference signals based on the PDW matrix is modeled as a multi-density clustering problem.

[0021] Furthermore, in step S4, by calculating the distance matrix of each PDW, the K-dist curve is then calculated, and the adaptive key parameter k is determined based on the K-dist curve.

[0024] Then, in step S5, draw a histogram for the values of the k-column distance matrix, determine the number of density levels through the peaks of the histogram, and perform k-means clustering on the values of the column distance matrix according to the number of density levels to generate a density-related parameter sequence.

According to the above values, obtain its frequency histogram at intervals of where represents the count of the histogram interval ; To eliminate the influence of noise, filter the histogram to obtain the satisfied interval sequence number : where represents the threshold of the filter. Then, obtain the number of density intervals by selecting the peaks of the filtered histogram. According to the number of values related to density, use the k-means method to cluster in to obtain the corresponding cluster center values. Arrange the cluster center values of the clusters in ascending order. For the first clusters, take the maximum value of each cluster as the multi-density related parameter , , for the th cluster, use the average value of the values within the cluster to represent the corresponding parameter; The multi-density Eps sequence

[0025] Finally, enter step S6. In ascending order of the Eps sequence, generate MinPts parameters using the Eps sequence in turn, and perform clustering using the iterative IterDBSCAN algorithm. Collect the generated clustering results, and use the noise as the input for the next round of clustering and repeat until all values in the Eps sequence are traversed, completing the sorting of radar signals in complex environments. Specifically: Select the related to multi-density in ascending order, and use the selected Eps value to calculate the average number of neighbors of each point to obtain the corresponding value.

In each round of iteration of the IterDBSCAN algorithm, by judging whether the number of overlapping points between the new cluster and the existing cluster exceeds the threshold value. If it exceeds the threshold value, it is judged as an existing cluster and merged into the existing cluster; if it does not exceed the threshold value, it is judged as a new cluster and added to the cluster set . Finally, obtain the clustering and noise. The calculation formula is: Then, update the clustering , and use the noise data as the input for the next iteration . When all the Eps values in are traversed, the clustering process ends, and the clustering results and noise are returned. Further, the clustering and merging process of this step S6 can be referred to Table 1 below: Table 1 As shown in Table 2 below, compare the method proposed in this embodiment with the improved AF-DBSCAN method and the multi-density AMD-DBSCAN method.
