The main function of electronic support measure system is to detect threating signals in order to take countermeasures against them. To accomplish this objective, a process of associating each interleaved pulse with its emitter must be done. This process is termed sorting or de-interleaving. A novel point symmetry based radar sorting (PSBRS) algorithm is addressed. In order to deal with all kinds of radar signals, the symmetry measure distance is used to cluster pulses instead of the conventional Euclidean distance. The reference points of the symmetrical clusters are initialized by the alternative fuzzy c-means (AFCM) algorithm to ameliorate the effects of noise and the false sorting. Besides, the density filtering (DF) algorithm is proposed to discard the noise pulses or clutter. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated under the effects of noise and missing pulses. It has been observed that the PSBRS algorithm can cope with a large number of noise pulses and it is completely independent of missing pulses. Finally, PSBRS is compared with some benchmark algorithms, and the simulation results reveal the feasibility and efficiency of the algorithm.
Radar equipment of stealth platforms such as aircraft have adopted the newest modem technology to design the signal waveforms. One of the important and effective methods is the hybrid waveform called spread spectrum stretch （S-cubed） which combines linear frequency modulation （LFM） and discrete phase code. In order to investigate the function of enemy＇s stealth radar equipment, the interception algorithm of S-cubed is needed. In this paper, a novel detection and parameter estimation approach for the reconnaissance S-cubed radar signal is presented. First, the generalized time-frequency representation of Zhao, Atlas, and Marks （ZAM-GTFR） and Hough transforms （HT） are applied to detecting the signal, and then the initial frequency and modulation slope of LFM are estimated from the ZAM-GTFR. On the basis of LFM information, the reconstructing signal is generated. Finally, the code rate of discrete phase code is extracted from the negative peaks of the ZAM-GTFR. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has higher estimation accuracy when the signal to noise ratio （SNR） is above 3 dB.
针对多输入多输出雷达所采用的正交四相编码信号,提出了基于循环自相关函数的参数估计方法。文中首先对正交四相编码信号模型的循环自相关函数和循环谱密度函数进行了推导;然后,依据推导结果,通过对循环谱密度函数最大模值位置的搜索完成了对信号载频的估计;最后,对不同延时条件下循环自相关函数在相位修正后进行累积,实现了对码速率的估计。仿真表明,文中算法在信噪比优于1 d B后,可以较好地完成对正交四相编码信号的调制参数估计。
