Analysis and classification of airborne radar signal types using time-frequency analysis

An electronic warfare support measure system is used by the military for intelligence gathering, threat detection, and as a support to electronic attack system. Its main feature is to determine the frequency parameters and pulse characteristics of the received radar signal. The estimated signal para...
