A Method for Extracting Fingerprint Feature of Communication Satellite Signal

Abstract

Satellite communications have historically played a vital role in a variety of industries, including maritime communications. The marine communication environment is exceedingly complicated, and extracting the characteristics of communication equipment signals is difficult. This research proposes a method for extracting satellite signal fingerprint characteristics based on the maritime complex communication environment. To create the signal fingerprint feature vector, the marginal spectral entropy is determined using the HHT (Hilbert-Huang transform) time-frequency analysis approach. Furthermore, by merging the Mahalanobis distance approach with the EEMD (ensemble empirical mode decomposition) algorithm, this study enhances it. The improved EEMD algorithm decomposes the original signal using EEMD, calculates the Mahalanobis distance between each IMF (intrinsic mode function) component and the raw data, optimizes the adaptive threshold using MPA (marine predators algorithm), and then analyzes the IMF components and redundant IMF components. It was decided to eliminate superfluous IMF components. Finally, this article mimics the Iridium satellite signal. The results of the experiments suggest that using this strategy minimizes the computational cost of the next step in fingerprint feature extraction while ensuring the accuracy of signal fingerprint feature recognition.
