An approach to the modulation recognition of MIMO radar signals

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar is a new radar system and draws more and more attentions in recent years. Along with the development of MIMO radar, the MIMO radar countermeasure is brought into being. Since the modulation recognition is of great significance in the electronic reconnaissance, this article presents a modulation recognition method for the signals of the emerging MIMO radar. Signals of interest are classified into three categories based on instantaneous autocorrelation spectrum analysis first. Then non-coding MIMO radar signals are discriminated by spectrum analysis, and coding MIMO radar signals are recognized by source number estimation algorithm. Meanwhile, the sub-carrier numbers of some kinds of MIMO radar signals are estimated. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the method and the overall correct recognition rate is over 90% when the value of SNR is above 0 dB.
