description Abstract Specific emitter identification is pivotal in both military and civilian sectors for discerning the unique hardware distinctions inherent to various launchers, it can be used to implement security in wireless communications. Recently, a large number of deep learning-based methods for specific emitter identification have been proposed, achieving good performance. However, these methods are trained based on a large amount of data and the data are independently and identically distributed. In actual complex environments, it is very difficult to obtain reliable labeled data. Aiming at the problems of difficulty in data collection and annotation, and the large difference in distribution between training data and test data, a method for individual radiation source identification based on ensemble domain adversarial neural network was proposed. Specifically, a domain adversarial neural network is designed and a Transformer encoder module is added to make the features obey Gaussian distribution and achieve better feature alignment. Ensemble classifiers are then used to enhance the generalization and reliability of the model. In addition, three real and complex migration environments, Alpine–Montane Channel, Plain-Hillock Channel, and Urban-Dense Channel, were constructed, and experiments were conducted on WiFi dataset. The simulation results show that the proposed method exhibits superior performance compared to the other six methods, with an accuracy improvement of about 3%.
