Deep Feature Autoextraction Method for Intrapulse Data of Radar Emitter Signal

Concerned with the problems that the extracted features are the absence of objectivity for radar emitter signal intrapulse data because of relying on priori knowledge, a novel method is proposed. First, this method gets the sparse autoencoder by adding certain restrain to the autoencoder. Second, by optimizing the sparse autoencoder and confirming the training scheme, intrapulse deep features are autoextracted with encoder layer parameters. The method extracts the eigenvectors of six typical radar emitter signals and uses them as inputs to a support vector machine classifier. The experimental results show that the method has higher accuracy in the case of large signal-to-noise ratio. The simulation verifies that the extracted features are feasible.
