Abstract

In complex electromagnetic scenarios where multiple deceptive jamming signals are simultaneously aliased in the timefrequency domain, conventional single-channel electronic detection systems struggle to effectively separate and classify overlapping jamming sources. To address this limitation, this paper investigates an array detection-based classification scheme for multi-source jamming. First, due to the spatial degrees of freedom offered by array systems, the Direction-of-Arrival (DOA) of each jamming source is precisely estimated using the MUSIC algorithm. Then, the adaptive digital beamforming (ADBF) filters are designed based on the estimated DOA parameters, enabling spatial-domain extraction of individual jamming signals. Finally, the DOA information is integrated into the Pulse Description Word (PDW) of each separated jamming measurement, which can facilitate adaptive K-Means clustering with enhanced class separability. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves a 22.4% improvement in classification accuracy compared to existing single-channel detection approaches, while maintaining computational efficiency.
