Radar pulse deinterleaving with domain knowledge based clustering
Résumé
New radar technologies present new challenges to Racons. Racons need to be more sensitive to pick
up weaker radar signals while ignoring interference from stronger ones. The problem of recovering radar
signals becomes even more difficult in crowded maritime areas where radar signals overlap with each other.
To tackle this issue, we propose a new approach to deinterleave radar pulses based on domain knowledge.
Our approach deinterleaves and recovers radar pulses in an unknown maritime environment in real-time
without prior knowledge while providing a thorough interpretation of results The effectiveness it is
demonstrated by simulations where the approach is tested through scenarios with different levels of radar
density and compared to other algorithms. The obtained results show that our approach performs better
than other algorithms regardless of the number of radar surrounding the Racon.
