Abstract

This paper discusses the use of time-frequency atom decomposition based on a differential evolution to analyze radar emitter signals. Decomposing a signal into an appropriate time-frequency atoms is a well-known NP-hard problem. This paper applies a differential evolution to replace the traditional approach, a greedy strategy, to approximately solve this problem within a tolerable time. A large number of experiments conducted on various radar emitter signals verify the feasibilities that the time-frequency characteristics are shown by using a small number of decomposed time-frequency atoms, instead of traditional time-frequency distributions.
