1D Convolutional Neural Networks Versus Automatic Classifiers for Known LPI Radar Signals Under White Gaussian Noise

In this study we analyze the signal classification performances of various classifiers for deterministic signals under the additive White Gaussian Noise (WGN) in a wide range of signal to noise ratio (SNR) levels (-40dB to +20dB). The traditional electronic support measure (ESM) systems require high...
