In this paper, a new wideband digital receiver based on the modulated wideband converter compressed sampling (CS) system is proposed to replace a conventional wideband digital receiver, solve the cross-channel signal problem, and achieve intra-pulse modulation recognition for the low probability of intercept (LPI) radar signals. The proposed receiver uses cyclic-shifted pseudo-random sequences to mix the received signals to baseband. The mixed signals are low-pass filtered and down-sampled to obtain compressed sampling data containing the full information of the received signals. Since the phases of the multi-branch CS data are designed to change regularly, we propose a phase correction factor to correct the phases of the multi-branch CS data, which can be superposed to increase the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Then, a recognition method based on the short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and spectrum energy focusing rate tests are proposed. First, the spectrum modulation bandwidth based on the STFT spectrum of the superposed CS data is tested to distinguish phase modulation signals and frequency modulation signals approximately. Then, the spectrum energy focusing rate of the superposed CS data is tested to determine the intra-pulse modulation type specifically. Finally, the superiority of the proposed recognition system for LPI radar signals and cross-channel signals is demonstrated by simulations and analysis. Simulation results show that the overall ratio of the successful recognition (RSR) is 100% when the SNR is greater than 0 dB.
