Orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) system is a special cognitive radio system that is widely used in military and civilian applications. As a crucial aspect of spectrum monitoring and electronic countermeasures reconnaissance, it is important to identify the OFDM signal. An identification method based on fractal box dimension and pseudo-inverse spectrum (PIS) has been proposed in this paper for the recognition problem of OFDM signal under multipath channel. Firstly, by theoretically analyzing the fractal box dimension of OFDM signal and single carrier (SC) signal, it can be concluded that the fractal box dimension of OFDM signal and SC signal has obvious differences. Thus, the fractal box dimension of the two types of signal is used to discriminate OFDM signal and SC signal. Then, the PIS of an OFDM signal is constructed according to the characteristics of the OFDM signal. Through theoretical analysis and the experimental simulation, it illustrates that the classification feature could be extracted by detecting the periodical peak of the PIS of OFDM signal and used for identifying OFDM signal in the Gaussian noise. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has better performance than the conventional algorithm based on autocorrelation.
The detection and prediction of sea clutter power is the basis of inversing atmospheric duct. At present, the technology of atmospheric duct within radar detection range is relatively perfect, but the long-distance inversion of atmospheric duct is limited by radar detection range, and the prediction of the echo power of the measured sea clutter is the basis of long-distance inversion of atmospheric duct. Based on the theory of weighted Markov model and grey Markov model, a weighted grey Markov model is constructed, and the sliding method is introduced to establish the sliding weighted grey Markov model. The relative error between the measured sea clutter power and predicted values of the above four models is calculated and analyzed using the experimental data collected. The results show that the sliding weighted grey Markov model has better accuracy not only in short-range prediction but also in long-distance prediction, which could provide data support for inversing atmospheric duct.
The Bearing–Angle algorithm effectively improves the observability of vision-based motion estimation for moving targets by combining the dimensional information of target detection frames. However, the robustness of this algorithm will be significantly reduced when the observation error increases due to sudden changes in the target motion state. To address this shortcoming, this paper proposes a visual target motion estimation algorithm called the Dynamic Bearing–Angle, which aims to improve the accuracy and robustness of target motion analysis in dynamic scenarios such as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The algorithm innovatively introduces a dual robustness mechanism of dynamic noise intensity adaptation and outlier suppression based on M-estimation. By adjusting the noise covariance matrix in real time and assigning low weights to the outlier observations using the Huber weight function, the Dynamic Bearing–Angle algorithm is able to effectively cope with non-Gaussian noise and sudden target maneuvers. We validate the performance of the proposed algorithm with numerical simulations and real sensor data, and the results show that the Dynamic Bearing–Angle maintains good robustness and accuracy under different noise intensities.
