A one-dimension convolutional neural network based interference classification method

Abstract

Interference is a common problem in wireless communication, navigation and radar systems. A wide variety of interferences are used to degrade the communication quality especially in electronic warfare environment. In modern military communication systems, interference classification is an important module for its ability to obtain prior interference information before adopting related anti-interference method. This paper proposes a deep learning based interference classification method, which applies one-dimension convolutional neural networks to automatically extract interference features for classification. Computer simulations show better classification performance and lower computational complexity. Meanwhile, this proposed method is implied on software defined radios (SDR) hardware, more than 99% correct classification probability can be achieved with limited samples of the received signal, which verifies the robustness of this proposed method.
