Blind Radar Signal Separation Algorithm Based on Third-Order Degree of Cyclostationarity Criteria

Separation and recognition of radar signals is the key function of modern radar reconnaissance, which is of great significance for electronic countermeasures and anti-countermeasures. In order to improve the ability of separating mixed signals in complex electromagnetic environment, a blind source separation algorithm based on degree of cyclostationarity (DCS) criterion is constructed in this paper. Firstly, the DCS criterion is constructed by using the cyclic spectrum theory. Then the algorithm flow of blind source separation is designed based on DCS criterion. At the same time, Givens matrix is constructed to make the blind source separation algorithm suitable for multiple signals with different cyclostationary frequencies. The feasibility of this method is further proved. The theoretical and simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively separate and recognize common multi-radar signals.
