Deep Neural Networks for Radar Waveform Classification

Michael Wharton, Anne M. Pavy, Philip Schniter

Abstract: We consider the problem of classifying radar pulses given raw I/Q waveforms in the presence of noise and absence of synchronization. We also consider the problem of classifying multiple superimposed radar pulses. For both, we design deep neural networks (DNNs) that are robust to synchronization, pulse width, and SNR. Our designs yield more than 100x reduction in error-rate over the current state-of-the-art.
