An approach to the modulation recognition of MIMO radar signals

Abstract

The modulation recognition is of great significance in the electronic reconnaissance. This chapter presents a modulation recognition method for the emerging multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar signals. Signals of interest are classified into three categories based on instantaneous correlation spectrum analysis first. Then none coding MIMO radar signals are discriminated by spectrum analysis, and coding MIMO radar signals are recognized by source number estimation algorithm. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the method and the overall correct recognition rate is over 90 % when SNR is above 0 dB. © 2012 Springer Science+Business.
