Radar active oppressive interference suppression based on generative adversarial network

Abstract

Abstract Modern radar systems often face various interference signals in complex and rapidly changing electronic environments. The task of suppressing this interference in the radar echo signal to extract vital information is challenging. A radar interference suppression method is proposed based on a generative adversarial network (GAN). This method effectively recovers the target signal from the echo signal, which contains interference and noise, by leveraging the powerful fitting ability of GAN. Specifically, this method was tested using coherent suppression interference, smart noise interference, and noise frequency modulation suppression interference. We compared the proposed GAN method with recurrent neural network, short‐time Fourier transform time‐varying filtering, short‐time fractional Fourier transform time‐varying filtering algorithms and RNN approach. The results show that the interference suppression algorithm based on GAN is superior to the other three algorithms.
