Abstract

The specific emitter identification is widely used in electronic countermeasures, spectrum control, wireless network security and other civil and military fields. In response to the problems that the traditional specific emitter identification algorithm relies on a priori knowledge and has poor generalizability, and the existing specific emitter identification algorithm based on deep learning has poor feature selection and the adopted feature extraction network is not targeted, etc., the specific emitter identification algorithm based on multi-sequence feature learning is proposed. Firstly, multiple sequence features of the emitted signal of the communication radiation source are extracted, and these features are combined into multiple sequence features. Secondly, the multiple sequence fusion convolutional network is constructed to fuse and deeply extract the multiple sequence features and complete the classification of individual communication radiation sources through the classifier of neural network. The selected sequence features of this algorithm contain more and more essential RFF information, while the targeted design of the multi-sequence feature fusion learning network can effectively extract the essential RFF information. The results show that the algorithm can significantly improve the performance of SEI compared with the benchmark algorithm, with a recognition rate gain of about 17%.
