Our study proposes a novel embedding method, Wide-Value-Embeddings (WVEmbs), for processing Pulse Descriptor Words (PDWs) as normalized inputs to neural networks. This method adapts to the distribution of interleaved radar signals, ranking original signal features from trivial to useful and stabilizing the learning process. To address the imbalance in radar signal interleaving, we introduce a value dimension masking method on WVEmbs, which automatically and efficiently generates challenging samples, and constructs interleaving scenarios, thereby compelling the model to learn robust features. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is an efficient end-to-end approach, achieving high-granularity, sample-level pulse sorting for high-density interleaved radar pulse sequences in complex and non-ideal environments.

A neural network is essentially a high-dimensional complex mapping model by adjusting network weights for feature fitting. However, the spectral bias in network training leads to unbearable training epochs for fitting the high-frequency components in broadband signals. To improve the fitting efficiency of high-frequency components, the PhaseDNN was proposed recently by combining complex frequency band extraction and frequency shift techniques [Cai et al. SIAM J. SCI. COMPUT. 42, A3285 (2020)]. Our paper is devoted to an alternative candidate for fitting complex signals with high-frequency components. Here, a parallel frequency function-deep neural network (PFF-DNN) is proposed to suppress computational overhead while ensuring fitting accuracy by utilizing fast Fourier analysis of broadband signals and the spectral bias nature of neural networks. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed PFF-DNN method are verified based on detailed numerical experiments for six typical broadband signals.

Spectrum sensing is a key technology for cognitive radios. We present spectrum sensing as a classification problem and propose a sensing method based on deep learning classification. We normalize the received signal power to overcome the effects of noise power uncertainty. We train the model with as many types of signals as possible as well as noise data to enable the trained network model to adapt to untrained new signals. We also use transfer learning strategies to improve the performance for real-world signals. Extensive experiments are conducted to evaluate the performance of this method. The simulation results show that the proposed method performs better than two traditional spectrum sensing methods, i.e., maximum-minimum eigenvalue ratio-based method and frequency domain entropy-based method. In addition, the experimental results of the new untrained signal types show that our method can adapt to the detection of these new signals. Furthermore, the real-world signal detection experiment results show that the detection performance can be further improved by transfer learning. Finally, experiments under colored noise show that our proposed method has superior detection performance under colored noise, while the traditional methods have a significant performance degradation, which further validate the superiority of our method.
