Adaptive detection with conic rejection to suppress deceptive jamming for frequency diverse MIMO radar

With traditional radar systems, it is not easy to classify and suppress the intended false targets, especially in case of the mainlobe deceptive jamming. In this paper, the deceptive jamming suppression issue is formulated as a problem of detecting the presence of target signal while rejecting potential deceptive jamming under the multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar with frequency diverse array (FDA) as the transmit array. The problem at hand is settled by resorting to the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT); at the design stage we define the sets where the false target and true target lie in. Since FDA-MIMO radar provides controllable degrees of freedom in both range and angle domains, the sets are range–angle related. This implies that both range and angle properties can be used to suppress the false targets. Based on the detector, a two-pulse scheme is proposed to guarantee high rejection probability of deceptive jamming. At the analysis stage, the performance of the detector is assessed in comparison with the conventional MIMO scenario and other detectors. The performance assessment shows that the proposed solutions are effective in the presence of electronic countermeasure (ECM) systems, especially when facing mainlobe deceptive jamming.     

Adaptive detection of range-spread targets in compound Gaussian clutter with the square root of inverse Gaussian texture

The compound Gaussian clutter with the square root of inverse Gaussian texture component has been successfully used for modeling the heavy-tailed non-Gaussian clutter measured by high-resolution radars. In high-resolution radars, the targets may extend along multiple consecutive range cells, which are called range-spread targets. In this paper, we consider the range-spread target detection problem in the compound Gaussian clutter with the square root of inverse Gaussian texture. Three adaptive detectors are proposed based on Bayesian one-step generalized likelihood ratio test, maximum a posteriori generalized likelihood ratio test and Bayesian two-step generalized likelihood ratio test, respectively. Finally, the detection performances of the proposed detectors are evaluated by the Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation results show that the proposed detectors have better detection performance of range-spread target than the conventional generalized likelihood ratio test detector.     

Persymmetric adaptive subspace detectors for range-spread targets

This paper investigates the problem of adaptive detection of a range-spread target in colored Gaussian disturbance. The range-spread target is described by a multi-rank subspace model, which lies in a subspace but with unknown coordinates. The disturbance, usually including clutter and thermal noise, has an unknown covariance matrix. Under the above assumption, we design the Rao and generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) detectors by the two-step procedure, which incorporates persymmetric structure of received data. The two detectors are shown to coincide with each other. Remarkably, the proposed detector ensures constant false alarm rate property. Experimental results conducted by both simulation and real data verify that the proposed detector outperforms the existing counterparts in training-limited scenarios.

Adaptive subspace detection of range-distributed target in compound-Gaussian clutter

This paper deals with high-resolution radar (HRR) adaptive detection of range-distributed target embedded in compound-Gaussian clutter which is modeled as a spherically invariant random process (SIRP). Using multiple dominant scattering (MDS) model of range-distributed target, we justify that range-distributed target can be modeled as a subspace random signal. The unknown deterministic parameters are replaced by their ML estimates and then the nonadaptive detector is proposed. A closed-form expression for the probability of false alarm of the nonadaptive detector is derived and it ensures CFAR property with respect to the unknown statistics of the clutter texture component. Moreover, an adaptive detector is obtained relying on a two-step GLRT-based design procedure. Performances of these proposed detectors are assessed through Monte Carlo simulations and are shown to have better detection performance compared with existing similar detector.     

Efficient resource allocation scheme for multi-service based on interference mitigation in LTE-Advanced networks

The exponential growth of various services demands the increased capacity of the next-generation broadband wireless access networks, which is toward the deployment of femtocell in macrocell network based on orthogonal frequency division multiple access. However, serious time-varying interference obstructs this macro/femto overlaid network to realize its true potential. In this article, we present a macro services guaranteed resource allocation scheme, which can mitigate various dominant interferences and provide multiple services in macro/femto overlaid Third-Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution-Advanced networks. We model our multiple services resource allocation scheme into a multiobjective optimization problem, which is a non-deterministic polynomial-time （NP）-hard problem. Then, we give a low-complexity algorithm consisting of two layers based on chordal graph. Simulation results verify that the proposed scheme can achieve better efficiency than the previous works and raise the satisfaction ratio of Guaranteed Bit Rate （GBR） services while improving the average performance of non-GBR services.     

Adaptive GLR-, Rao- and Wald-based CFAR detectors for a subspace signal embedded in structured Gaussian interference

The problem of detecting a subspace signal embedded in subspace Gaussian interference and thermal noise is studied in this paper. In this problem, both the signal-independent and signal-dependent interferences are assumed to be present, therefore the overall interference subspace covers the signal subspace. The approach of this paper extends previous works involving either of those two kinds of interferences. A set of secondary data containing only interference plus noise is employed to estimate the interference covariance matrix and the noise power. Three new detectors are designed via the generalized likelihood ratio (GLR), Rao and Wald tests, respectively. Their probabilities of false alarms (PFAs) and detections are analytically derived. The PFAs show that the new detectors have the constant false alarm rate (CFAR) property against the interference and noise. Numerical results show that the new detectors outperform their counterparts for the studied problem. Furthermore, the new detectors are less sensitive to the secondary data size and to the mismatched subspace signal than some other detectors, such as the GLR detector (GLRD), the adaptive matched filter (AMF), the adaptive subspace detector (ASD), etc.     

Cooperative spectrum sensing against noise uncertainty using Neyman–Pearson lemma on fuzzy hypothesis test

In this paper, we consider the problem of cooperative spectrum sensing in the presence of the noise power uncertainty. We propose a new spectrum sensing method based on the fuzzy hypothesis test (FHT) that utilizes membership functions as hypotheses for the modeling and analyzing such uncertainty. In particular, we apply the Neyman–Pearson lemma on the FHT and propose a threshold-based local detector at each secondary user (SU) in which the threshold depends on the noise power uncertainty. In the proposed scheme, a centralized manner in the cooperative spectrum sensing is deployed in which each SU sends its one bit decision to a fusion center. The fusion center makes a final decision about the absence/presence of a primary user (PU). The performance of the PU's signal detection is evaluated by the probability of signal detection for a specific signal to noise ratio when the probability of false alarm is set to a fixed value. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared numerically with two classical threshold-based energy detectors. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm considerably outperforms the methods with a bi-thresholds energy detector and a simple energy detector in the presence of the noise power uncertainty.     

Narrowband signal detection techniques in shallow ocean by acoustic vector sensor array

This paper presents the formulation and performance analysis of four techniques for detection of a narrowband acoustic source in a shallow range-independent ocean using an acoustic vector sensor (AVS) array. The array signal vector is not known due to the unknown location of the source. Hence all detectors are based on a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) which involves estimation of the array signal vector. One non-parametric and three parametric (model-based) signal estimators are presented. It is shown that there is a strong correlation between the detector performance and the mean-square signal estimation error. Theoretical expressions for probability of false alarm and probability of detection are derived for all the detectors, and the theoretical predictions are compared with simulation results. It is shown that the detection performance of an AVS array with a certain number of sensors is equal to or slightly better than that of a conventional acoustic pressure sensor array with thrice as many sensors.

A novel method for mixture viscosity control based on change detection

The paper presents a novel method for detecting abrupt changes in mixture viscosities. This problem arises in numerous industrial applications and different solutions are suggested in the literature. An approach of using non-linear filtering for detection—an adaptive filter combined with a change detector—is outlined in this paper. As a case study, we present an ash stabilization batch mixing process used to stabilize a blend of ash/dolomite/water. The main problem is here to predict the quantity of water to be added, since the required amount of water varies with the wood ash quality. One adaptive filter and two change detectors are applied to benchmark data and the detectors are evaluated using basic performance measures.

Multiuser Receiver for DS-CDMA Signals in Multipath Channels: An Enhanced Multisurface Method

This paper deals with the problem of multiuser detection in direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems in multipath environments. The existing multiuser detectors can be divided into two categories: 1) low-complexity poor-performance linear detectors and 2) high-complexity good-performance nonlinear detectors. In particular, in channels where the orthogonality of the code sequences is destroyed by multipath, detectors with linear complexity perform much worse than the nonlinear detectors. In this paper, we propose an enhanced multisurface method (EMSM) for multiuser detection in multipath channels. EMSM is an intermediate piecewise linear detection scheme with a run-time complexity linear in the number of users. Its bit error rate performance is compared with existing linear detectors, a nonlinear radial basis function detector trained by the new support vector learning algorithm, and Verdu's optimal detector. Simulations in multipath channels, for both synchronous and asynchronous cases, indicate that it always outperforms all other linear detectors, performing nearly as well as nonlinear detectors

Human-machine interactive streaming anomaly detection by online self-adaptive forest

Anomaly detectors are used to distinguish differences between normal and abnormal data, which are usually implemented by evaluating and ranking the anomaly scores of each instance. A static unsupervised streaming anomaly detector is difficult to dynamically adjust anomaly score calculation. In real scenarios, anomaly detection often needs to be regulated by human feedback, which benefits adjusting anomaly detectors. In this paper, we propose a human-machine interactive streaming anomaly detection method, named ISPForest, which can be adaptively updated online under the guidance of human feedback. In particular, the feedback will be used to adjust the anomaly score calculation and structure of the detector, ideally attaining more accurate anomaly scores in the future. Our main contribution is to improve the tree-based streaming anomaly detection model that can be updated online from perspectives of anomaly score calculation and model structure. Our approach is instantiated for the powerful class of tree-based streaming anomaly detectors, and we conduct experiments on a range of benchmark datasets. The results demonstrate that the utility of incorporating feedback can improve the performance of anomaly detectors with a few human efforts.     

An adaptive cell averaging-based CFAR detector for interfering targets and clutter-edge situations

In practice, there are two common situations when the independent and identically distributed (IID) assumption no longer holds: (i) there is a clutter edge and (ii) there is an outlier, e.g., a clutter spike, an impulsive interference, or another interfering target. These can result in masking of weaker targets near stronger ones and excessive false alarms at clutter edge transitions. In this paper, a new constant false alarm (CFAR) detector is proposed, which uses a goodness of fit test to verify the IID assumption. If it is decided that the data in the reference window is IID, the cell averaging (CA)-detector is applied. Otherwise, a range-heterogeneous detection algorithm is applied to provide homogeneous samples to develop a CA-based detector. The performance study shows that the proposed detector performs like the CA detector in the homogeneous situation and outperforms other competing CFAR detectors in heterogeneous situations caused by multiple targets and clutter edge.     

A neural detector for seismic reflectivity sequences

A commonly used routine in seismic signal processing is deconvolution, which comprises two operations: reflectivity detection and magnitude estimation. Existing statistical detectors are computationally expensive. In the paper, a Hopfield neural network is constructed to perform the reflectivity detection operation. The basic idea is to represent the reflectivity detection problem by an equivalent optimization problem and then construct a Hopfield neural network to solve this optimization problem. The neural detector is applied to a synthetic seismic trace and 30 real seismic traces. The processing results show that the accuracy of the neural detector is about the same as that of the existing detectors, but the speed of the neural detector is much faster.
