Nevertheless, the lack of mechanistic explanation restricts the use of fingerprint features to a data-driven technique and fur-ther reduces the adaptability of the technique to other datasets. To address this issue, the mechanism how the phase noise of high-frequency oscillators and the nonlinearity of power ampli-fiers affect the kurtosis of communication signals is investigated. Mathematical models are derived for intentional modulation (IM) and unintentional modulation (UIM). Analysis indicates that the phase noise of high-frequency oscillators and the nonlinearity of power amplifiers affect the kurtosis frequency and amplitude, respectively. A novel SEI method based on frequency and ampli-tude of the signal kurtosis (FA-SK) is further proposed. Simula-tion and real-world experiments validate theoretical analysis and also confirm the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

The p...A generalized multiple-mode prolate spherical wave functions (PSWFs) multi-carrier with index modulation approach is proposed with the purpose of improving the spectral efficiency of PSWFs multi-carrier systems. The proposed method,based on the optimized multi-index modulation, does not limit the number of signals in the first and second constellations and abandons the concept of limiting the number of signals in different constellations. It successfully increases the spectrum efficiency of the system while expanding the number of modulation symbol combinations and the index dimension of PSWFs signals. The proposed method outperforms the PSWFs multi-carrier index modulation method based on optimized multiple indexes in terms of spectrum efficiency, but at the expense of system computational complexity and bit error performance. For example, with n=10 subcarriers and a bit error rate of 1×10^(-5),spectral efficiency can be raised by roughly 12.4%.展开更多

文摘Extensive experiments suggest that kurtosis-based fingerprint features are effective for specific emitter identification (SEI). Nevertheless, the lack of mechanistic explanation restricts the use of fingerprint features to a data-driven technique and fur-ther reduces the adaptability of the technique to other datasets. To address this issue, the mechanism how the phase noise of high-frequency oscillators and the nonlinearity of power ampli-fiers affect the kurtosis of communication signals is investigated. Mathematical models are derived for intentional modulation (IM) and unintentional modulation (UIM). Analysis indicates that the phase noise of high-frequency oscillators and the nonlinearity of power amplifiers affect the kurtosis frequency and amplitude, respectively. A novel SEI method based on frequency and ampli-tude of the signal kurtosis (FA-SK) is further proposed. Simula-tion and real-world experiments validate theoretical analysis and also confirm the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method.

文摘A generalized multiple-mode prolate spherical wave functions (PSWFs) multi-carrier with index modulation approach is proposed with the purpose of improving the spectral efficiency of PSWFs multi-carrier systems. The proposed method,based on the optimized multi-index modulation, does not limit the number of signals in the first and second constellations and abandons the concept of limiting the number of signals in different constellations. It successfully increases the spectrum efficiency of the system while expanding the number of modulation symbol combinations and the index dimension of PSWFs signals. The proposed method outperforms the PSWFs multi-carrier index modulation method based on optimized multiple indexes in terms of spectrum efficiency, but at the expense of system computational complexity and bit error performance. For example, with n=10 subcarriers and a bit error rate of 1×10^(-5),spectral efficiency can be raised by roughly 12.4%.

文摘Range-azimuth imaging of ground targets via frequency-modulated continuous wave(FMCW)radar is crucial for effective target detection.However,when the pitch of the moving array constructed during motion exceeds the physical array aperture,azimuth ambiguity occurs,making range-azimuth imaging on a moving platform challenging.To address this issue,we theoretically analyze azimuth ambiguity generation in sparse motion arrays and propose a dual-aperture adaptive processing(DAAP)method for suppressing azimuth ambiguity.This method combines spatial multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)arrays with sparse motion arrays to achieve high-resolution range-azimuth imaging.In addition,an adaptive QR decomposition denoising method for sparse array signals based on iterative low-rank matrix approximation(LRMA)and regularized QR is proposed to preprocess sparse motion array signals.Simulations and experiments show that on a two-transmitter-four-receiver array,the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of the sparse motion array signal after noise suppression via adaptive QR decomposition can exceed 0 dB,and the azimuth ambiguity signal ratio(AASR)can be reduced to below-20 dB.

文摘The identification of intercepted radio fuze modulation types is a prerequisite for decision-making in interference systems.However,the electromagnetic environment of modern battlefields is complex,and the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of such environments is usually low,which makes it difficult to implement accurate recognition of radio fuzes.To solve the above problem,a radio fuze automatic modulation recognition(AMR)method for low-SNR environments is proposed.First,an adaptive denoising algorithm based on data rearrangement and the two-dimensional(2D)fast Fourier transform(FFT)(DR2D)is used to reduce the noise of the intercepted radio fuze intermediate frequency(IF)signal.Then,the textural features of the denoised IF signal rearranged data matrix are extracted from the statistical indicator vectors of gray-level cooccurrence matrices(GLCMs),and support vector machines(SVMs)are used for classification.The DR2D-based adaptive denoising algorithm achieves an average correlation coefficient of more than 0.76 for ten fuze types under SNRs of-10 d B and above,which is higher than that of other typical algorithms.The trained SVM classification model achieves an average recognition accuracy of more than 96%on seven modulation types and recognition accuracies of more than 94%on each modulation type under SNRs of-12 d B and above,which represents a good AMR performance of radio fuzes under low SNRs.

文摘In electromagnetic countermeasures circumstances,synthetic aperture radar(SAR)imagery usually suffers from severe quality degradation from modulated interrupt sampling repeater jamming(MISRJ),which usually owes considerable coherence with the SAR transmission waveform together with periodical modulation patterns.This paper develops an MISRJ suppression algorithm for SAR imagery with online dictionary learning.In the algorithm,the jamming modulation temporal properties are exploited with extracting and sorting MISRJ slices using fast-time autocorrelation.Online dictionary learning is followed to separate real signals from jamming slices.Under the learned representation,time-varying MISRJs are suppressed effectively.Both simulated and real-measured SAR data are also used to confirm advantages in suppressing time-varying MISRJs over traditional methods.
文摘Exploitation of sustainable energy sources requires the use of unique conversion and storage systems,such as solar panels,batteries,fuel cells,and electronic equipment.Thermal load management of these energy conversion and storage systems is one of their challenges and concerns.In this article,the thermal management of these systems using thermoelectric modules is reviewed.The results show that by choosing the right option to remove heat from the hot side of the thermoelectric modules,it will be a suitable local cooling,and the thermoelectric modules increase the power and lifespan of the system by reducing the spot temperature.Thermoelectric modules were effective in reducing panel temperature.They increase the time to reach a temperature above 50℃ in batteries by 3 to 4 times.Also,in their integration with fuel cells,they increase the power density of the fuel cell.
