Research on differential Pattern time delay shift coding underwater acoustic communication by Jing-wei YIN, Xiao ZHANG, Xue-li SHENG, Chao SUN

“…A differential Pattern time delay shift coding(DPDS)method with a non-fixed code width based on the traditional Pattern time delay shift coding was proposed.The information is carried by the time delay between adjacent code element,the different linear frequency modulation(LFM)signal is used for adjacent code division.The DPDS system has an ability anti inter-symbol interference(ISI)and the Doppler effects.The computer simulation and lake tests prove that the DPDS system can improve the communication rate,inhibit the ISI caused by the multi-path channel and anti the Doppler effects.It is proved that the system has an effectiveness and robustness.…”

Low complexity radar signal classification based on spectrum shape by Liang YIN, Rui LIN, Xiaolei WANG, Yuliang YAO, Lin ZHOU, Yuan HE

“…In order to solve the problems of high computational complexity, low recognition accuracy of low signal to noise ratio (SNR) environment and low fidelity of simulation data in radar signal modulation recognition, a low complexity radar signal classification algorithm based on spectrum shape was proposed.Signal spectrum was normalized, feature parameters were extracted by spectrum sampling method, and then machine learning classification model was trained.The test results of the data generated by the radar signal source show that the classification accuracy of Barker code, Frank code, LFM code, BPSK, QPSK modulation and conventional radar signals is more than 90% (SNR≥3 dB).The algorithm has low computational complexity, can adapt to the change of signal parameters, and has good generalization.…”
