Automatic modulation recognition of radio fuzes using a DR2D-based adaptive denoising method and textural feature extraction

The identification of intercepted radio fuze modulation types is a prerequisite for decision-making in interference systems.However,the electromagnetic environment of modern battlefields is complex,and the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of such environments is usually low,which makes it difficult to implement accurate recognition of radio fuzes.To solve the above problem,a radio fuze automatic modulation recognition(AMR)method for low-SNR environments is proposed.First,an adaptive denoising algorithm based on data rearrangement and the two-dimensional(2D)fast Fourier transform(FFT)(DR2D)is used to reduce the noise of the intercepted radio fuze intermediate frequency(IF)signal.Then,the textural features of the denoised IF signal rearranged data matrix are extracted from the statistical indicator vectors of gray-level cooccurrence matrices(GLCMs),and support vector machines(SVMs)are used for classification.The DR2D-based adaptive denoising algorithm achieves an average correlation coefficient of more than 0.76 for ten fuze types under SNRs of-10 d B and above,which is higher than that of other typical algorithms.The trained SVM classification model achieves an average recognition accuracy of more than 96%on seven modulation types and recognition accuracies of more than 94%on each modulation type under SNRs of-12 d B and above,which represents a good AMR performance of radio fuzes under low SNRs.

Research on the Topology and Control Scheme of an Innovative Modular Multilevel Converter

This paper presents a new modular multilevel converter (MMC) topology. Compared to conventional multilevel converters, MMC has much lower switching frequency (50 Hz) resulting in lower switching losses, and consequently, lower total losses of the transmission system. The fundamental concept and the applied control scheme are introduced in detail. A modified multilevel fundamental switching modulation scheme adopting the multicarrier pulse width modulation concept is presented. A capacitor voltage balancing technique is proposed. With the established simulation model of the 11-level MMC, the modulation and balancing strategy presented are confirmed by MATLAB/SIMULINK simulations. The multicarrier pulse width modulation converter strategy enhances the fundamental output voltage and reduces total harmonic distortion. This new type of converter is suitable for high-voltage drive systems and power system applications such as high voltage dc (HVDC) transmission, reactive power compensation equipment and so on.

PI and RST Control Design and Comparison for Matrix Converters Using Venturini Modulation Strategy

This paper presents a thorough design and comparative study of two popular control techniques, i.e., classical Proportional Integral (PI) and RST, for Matrix Converters (MCs) in terms of tracking the reference and robustness. The output signal of MCs is directly affected by unbalanced grid voltage. Some research works have attempted to overcome this problem with PI control. However, this technique is known to offer lower performance when it is used in complex and nonlinear systems. On the other hand, RST control offers better performance, even in case of highly nonlinear systems. Therefore, the RST can achieve better performance to overcome the limitation of PI control of nonlinear systems. In this paper, a RST control method is proposed as output current controller to improve the performance of the MC powered by unbalanced grid voltage. The overall operating principle, Venturini modulation strategy of MC, PI control and characteristics of RST are presented.
