Specific Emitter Identification Based on ACGAN and STFT

Deep learning methodologies are gaining popularity for enhancing the efficiency of Specific Emitter Identification (SEI). Nevertheless, the lack of labeled datasets continues to pose a challenge in most non-cooperative scenarios for SEI. Addressing this challenge, a framework for SEI is proposed, leveraging Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT) in conjunction with auxiliary classifier GAN(ACGAN). The Short-Time Fourier Transform of emitters is utilized as radio-frequency fingerprint for the emitters. The input latent layer is infused with label information to steer the training process of the Generative Adversarial Network. Through semi-supervised training, shared weight updates are implemented for the classification network. Experimental results demonstrate that our model can achieve superior or competitive performances in several datasets compared with the former models.
