Abstract

With the rapid advancement of information technology, the modern battlefield is characterized by a highly complex electromagnetic environment. Radar radiation sources exhibit wide-ranging parameter variations and strong random characteristics, presenting formidable challenges to the signal selection of radar radiation sources in missile-borne countermeasure systems. This paper addresses the issue of reliable identification and selection of radar source signals by on-board countermeasures systems. Through the analysis of source signal characteristics, the Smooth Pseudo Wigner-Ville Distribution (SPWVD) method is employed for time-frequency analysis to extract the time-frequency features of the source signals. Furthermore, a lightweight network based on SqueezeNet is implemented to achieve high-precision source signal selection. The results demonstrate that, when the SNR of the source signals is greater than 0dB, the network model achieves a recognition accuracy above 94.59%. The selection accuracy is comparable to that of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), thereby meeting the requirements of on-board countermeasure systems for reliable selection of radar source signals. The analysis confirms that under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions, noise significantly affects the network's selection accuracy by impacting the time-frequency clarity of the modulation signals.
