A Few-Shots OFDM Target Augmented Identification Method Based on Transfer Learning

Abstract

Under the few-shots condition caused by non-cooperative scenes, robust extraction of communication emitter features and accurate identification of targets are the difficulties and hotspots of current research. Aimed at the problem of emitter identification under the few-shots condition of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals, this paper proposes a non-cooperative target identification method based on phase/time domain flipping data augmentation and source domain instance-based transfer learning. The data set is expanded by different domain flipping data augmentation methods, and the improved residual network is applied to achieve the purpose of promoting the identification rate of the OFDM emitter. Then, transfer learning is introduced to strengthen the generalization ability of the identification model. The experimental results show that the data augmentation method can significantly improve the OFDM emitter identification rate under the few-shots condition. Furthermore, the transfer learning method accelerates the convergence speed, slightly increases the recognition rate, and improves robustness of the model.
