Method for Recognition of Communication Interference Signals under Small-Sample Conditions

Abstract

To address the difficulty in obtaining a large number of labeled jamming signals in complex electromagnetic environments, this paper proposes a small-sample communication jamming signal recognition method based on WDCGAN-SA (Wasserstein Deep Convolution Generative Adversarial Network–Self Attention) and C-ResNet (Convolution Block Attention Module–Residual Network). Firstly, leveraging the DCGAN architecture, we integrate the Wasserstein distance measurement and gradient penalty mechanism to design the jamming signal generation model WDCGAN for data augmentation. Secondly, we introduce a self-attention mechanism to make the generation model focus on global correlation features in time–frequency maps while optimizing training strategies to enhance the quality of generated samples. Finally, real samples are mixed with generated samples and fed into the classification network, incorporating cross-channel and spatial information in the classification network to improve jamming signal recognition rates. The simulation results demonstrate that under small-sample conditions with a Jamming-to-Noise Ratio (JNR) ranging from −10 dB to 10 dB, the proposed algorithm significantly outperforms GAN, WGAN and DCGAN comparative algorithms in recognizing six types of communication jamming signals.
