| Summary: | Acquiring pulse signals of radar source is an essential component in implementing electronic support measures (ESM). The conventional signal detection or deinterleaving method are mainly applied in relatively simple environments. Currently, radar electronic reconnaissance signal processing capability is severely constrained by poor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the interleaving of signals from various radar sources. This research develops a multi-layer particle swarm optimization (PSO) pulse extraction and deinterleaving technique to improve ESM’s efficacy further. First, coherent accumulation of the received signals is performed using PSO to obtain higher SNR pulse. Second, the signals from this radar source are deinterleaved using the obtained pulse. Ultimately, the aforementioned procedures are combined into a multi-layer PSO architecture to capture radar source signals and deinterleaving them at low SNRs. The suggested algorithm’s efficacy and robustness are confirmed through simulation experiments.
