A Novel Radar Signals Sorting Method via Residual Graph Convolutional Network

The dense, complex and variable electromagnetic environment poses a serious challenge to radar signal sorting (RSS) in modern electronic reconnaissance systems. In order to improve RSS performance, this letter proposes a semi-supervised learning framework-based RSS method via a residual graph convolutional network (ResGCN-RSS) to effectively improve the generalization ability of the signal sorting models in small data scenarios. Firstly, the graph structure construction of intercepted radar signals is performed via K-nearest neighbor algorithm. Then, the three-layer ResGCN is designed to adaptively improve the features learning. Finally, RSS can be effectively and efficiently implemented through an end-to-end ResGCN with small labeled graph data of interleaved radar signals. The simulation experimental results show that our proposed method can achieve better average accuracy with little computational cost increasing when the labeled data is very small, compared to some existing methods.
