description | Signal features can be obscured in noisy environments, resulting in low accuracy of radar emitter signal recognition based on traditional methods. To improve the ability of learning features from noisy signals, a new radar emitter signal recognition method based on one-dimensional (1D) deep residual shrinkage network (DRSN) is proposed, which offers the following advantages: (i) Unimportant features are eliminated using the soft thresholding function, and the thresholds are automatically set based on the attention mechanism; (ii) without any professional knowledge of signal processing or dimension conversion of data, the 1D DRSN can automatically learn the features characterizing the signal directly from the 1D data and achieve a high recognition rate for noisy signals. The effectiveness of the 1D DRSN was experimentally verified under different types of noise. In addition, comparison with other deep learning methods revealed the superior performance of the DRSN. Last, the mechanism of eliminating redundant features using the soft thresholding function was analyzed. |
