基于LPI-U-Net的端到端时域低截获概率雷达信号增强

      LPI-U-Net-based end-to-end time-domain LPI radar signal enhancement

      • 摘要: 低截获概率(low probability of intercept, LPI)雷达信号凭借其卓越的抗截获能力,在现代电子战中得到了广泛应用。但LPI雷达信号的低峰值功率使其极易被加性白高斯噪声(additive white Gaussian noise, AWGN)淹没,导致信噪比(signal-to-noise ratios, SNR)较低,给信号的检测和识别带来了极大的挑战。为了从AWGN背景中提取原始LPI雷达信号,本文提出了一种名为LPI-U-Net的深度神经网络(deep neural network, DNN),用于端到端的时域LPI雷达信号增强。该网络由特征提取模块(feature extract module, FEM)、特征聚焦模块(feature focus module, FFM)和信号恢复模块(signal recover module, SRM)组成。首先FEM通过卷积操作提取信号的特征,然后FFM利用卷积和通道间注意力进一步关注对信号增强任务有利的特征,最后SRM利用反卷积操作从特征中重构信号,从而完成LPI雷达信号增强。仿真实验表明LPI-U-Net在低SNR下的LPI雷达信号增强性能优于传统信号处理中典型的降噪方法,验证了其可行性和有效性。

         

        Abstract: Low probability of intercept (LPI) radar signals are widely used in modern electronic warfare due to their excellent anti-intercept capability. The low peak power of LPI radar signals makes them easily overwhelmed by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), which results in low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), and poses a great challenge for signal detection and identification. In order to extract the original LPI radar signals from the AWGN background, this paper proposes a deep neural network (DNN) called LPI-U-Net for end-to-end time-domain LPI radar signal enhancement. The network consists of a feature extract module (FEM), a feature focus module (FFM) and a signal recover module (SRM). First the FEM extracts the features of the signal by convolution operation, then the FFM uses convolution and inter-channel attention to further focus on the features that are beneficial to the signal enhancement task, and finally the SRM reconstructs the signal from the features by using the deconvolution operation, thus completing the LPI radar signal enhancement. Simulation experiments show that the performance of LPI-U-Net for LPI radar signal enhancement at low SNR outperforms typical noise reduction methods in conventional signal processing, verifying its feasibility and effectiveness.
