Frequency-Hopping Signal Network-Station Sorting Based on Maxout Network Model and Generative Method

Abstract

Automatic frequency-hopping (FH) signal network-station sorting is one of the most difficult and import problems in the field of electronic warfare, especially in a complex electromagnetic environment. In this paper, an automatic and reliable network-station sorting method of FH signal with maxout network feature extraction and generative-based classification method is proposed. Experiments on real FH data sets demonstrate that the proposed method not only outperforms the competitive feature extraction methods with a higher accuracy of FH signal network-station sorting but also has a better robustness against noise, especially Gaussian noise.
