    Abstract:

    Radar emitter signal sorting (RESS) plays a critical role on modern electronic warfare. To address the limitations of traditional sorting methods, such as low efficiency and limited accuracy in complex electromagnetic environments, as well as radar-communication spectrum sharing (RCSS) brought about by the development of 5G communication technologies, this paper proposes an innovative solution based on multi-task learning and multi-domain feature fusion. First, the proposed method constructs a multi-task learning (MTL) framework to jointly preprocess noisy radar-communication mixed signals, including signal cleansing, denoising, and time-frequency feature enhancement. Second, a feature fusion network is designed to extract multi-scale features from both the time-frequency image domain and the time-delay-Doppler domain. An improved iterative attention mechanism is employed to achieve cross-domain feature fusion, resulting in a high-dimensional feature representation with a strong discriminative power. Finally, a clustering model based on DeepCluster is used to accurately sort radar emitter signals. Experiments demonstrates that under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) condition of -6 dB, the proposed method effectively suppresses communication signal interference and achieves a sorting accuracy of 93.8%. Compared with existing approaches, the proposed solution demonstrates significant advantages in enhancing the robustness of signal preprocessing and maintaining high sorting accuracy, underscoring its strong potential for practical engineering applications.
