Abstract

En 中文
To address the challenge of low modulation recognition accuracy for Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) radar waveforms under low Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) conditions—a critical limitation in current radar signal processing research—this study proposes a novel recognition framework anchored in an improved EfficientNet model. First, to generate time–frequency images, the radar signals are initially subjected to time–frequency analysis using the Choi–Williams Distribution (CWD). Second, the Mobile Inverted Bottle-neck Convolution (MBConv) structure incorporates the Simple Attention Module (SimAM) to improve the network’s capacity to extract features from time–frequency images. Specifically, the original serial mechanism within the MBConv structure is replaced with a parallel convolution and attention approach, further optimizing feature extraction efficiency. Third, the network’s loss function is upgraded to Focal Loss. This modification aims to mitigate the issue of low recognition rates for specific radar signal types during training: by dynamically adjusting the loss weights of hard-to-recognize samples, it effectively improves the classification accuracy of challenging categories. Simulation experiments were conducted on 13 distinct types of LPI radar signals. The results demonstrate that the improved model validates the effectiveness of the proposed approach for LPI waveform modulation recognition, achieving an overall recognition accuracy of 96.48% on the test set.
