| Summary: | Aiming at the problem of reliability reduction of signal sorting in terms of the traditional five parameters and intrapulse feature in a complex electromagnetic environment, a new signal sorting method based on radar coherent characteristics is proposed. The main idea of this method is using spectrum analysis to obtain the spectrum images of coherent and noncoherent signals. Image-processing technology is used to extract the feature difference between the two spectrum images, and the central-moment feature is introduced to describe this difference. Through simulation analysis, the feasibility of using the central-moment feature as the coherent feature for signal sorting was proved. In order to check the effectiveness of the proposed feature, a number of simulations were conducted to demonstrate the sorting capability in terms of the coherent feature. From the simulations, it can be seen that the proposed feature not only can be used as a new feature for signal sorting but also that it can be utilized as a supplement for five typical parameters and the intrapulse feature to improve the sorting accuracy rate. Simulations also showed the proposed method could achieve satisfactory sorting results in a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). When the SNR was 5 dB, the sorting accuracy rate could reach 98%.
