This paper presents a sparse denoising autoencoder (SDAE)-based deep neural network (DNN) for the direction finding (DF) of small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). It is motivated by the practical challenges associated with classical DF algorithms such as MUSIC and ESPRIT. The proposed DF scheme is practical and low-complex in the sense that a phase synchronization mechanism, an antenna calibration mechanism, and the analytical model of the antenna radiation pattern are not essential. Also, the proposed DF method can be implemented using a single-channel RF receiver. The paper validates the proposed method experimentally as well.

This paper investigates the problem of classification of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from radio frequency (RF) fingerprints at the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. We use convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained with both RF time-serie
s images and the spectrograms of 15 different off-the-shelf drone controller RF signals. When using time-series signal images, the CNN extracts features from the signal transient and envelope. As the SNR decreases, this approach fails dramatically because the information in the transient is lost in the noise, and the envelope is distorted heavily. In contrast to time-series representation of the RF signals, with spectrograms, it is possible to focus only on the desired frequency interval, i.e., 2.4 GHz ISM band, and filter out any other signal component outside of this band. These advantages provide a notable performance improvement over the time-series signals-based methods. To further increase the classification accuracy of the spectrogram-based CNN, we denoise the spectrogram images by truncating them to a limited spectral density interval. Creating a single model using spectrogram images of noisy signals and tuning the CNN model parameters, we achieve a classification accuracy varying from 92% to 100% for an SNR range from -10 dB to 30 dB, which significantly outperforms the existing approaches to our best knowledge.
This paper investigates the problem of detection and classification of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the presence of wireless interference signals using a passive radio frequency (RF) surveillance system. The system uses a multistage detector to
distinguish signals transmitted by a UAV controller from the background noise and interference signals. First, RF signals from any source are detected using a Markov models-based naive Bayes decision mechanism. When the receiver operates at a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 10 dB, and the threshold, which defines the states of the models, is set at a level 3.5 times the standard deviation of the preprocessed noise data, a detection accuracy of 99.8% with a false alarm rate of 2.8% is achieved. Second, signals from Wi-Fi and Bluetooth emitters, if present, are detected based on the bandwidth and modulation features of the detected RF signal. Once the input signal is identified as a UAV controller signal, it is classified using machine learning (ML) techniques. Fifteen statistical features extracted from the energy transients of the UAV controller signals are fed to neighborhood component analysis (NCA), and the three most significant features are selected. The performance of the NCA and five different ML classifiers are studied for 15 different types of UAV controllers. A classification accuracy of 98.13% is achieved by k-nearest neighbor classifier at 25 dB SNR. Classification performance is also investigated at different SNR levels and for a set of 17 UAV controllers which includes two pairs from the same UAV controller models.
Sparse array arrangement has been widely used in vector-sensor arrays because of increased degree-of-freedoms for identifying more sources than sensors. For large-size sparse vector-sensor arrays, one-bit measurements can further reduce the receiver
system complexity by using low-resolution ADCs. In this paper, we present a sparse cross-dipole array with one-bit measurements to estimate Direction of Arrivals (DOA) of electromagnetic sources. Based on the independence assumption of sources, we establish the relation between the covariance matrix of one-bit measurements and that of unquantized measurements by Bussgang Theorem. Then we develop a Spatial-Smooth MUSIC (SS-MUSIC) based method, One-Bit MUSIC (OB-MUSIC), to estimate the DOAs. By jointly utilizing the covariance matrices of two dipole arrays, we find that OB-MUSIC is robust against polarization states. We also derive the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) of DOA estimation for the proposed scheme. Furthermore, we theoretically analyze the applicability of the independence assumption of sources, which is the fundamental of the proposed and other typical methods, and verify the assumption in typical communication applications. Numerical results show that, with the same number of sensors, one-bit sparse cross-dipole arrays have comparable performance with unquantized uniform linear arrays and thus provide a compromise between the DOA estimation performance and the system complexity.
This paper presents a radar cross-section (RCS)-based statistical recognition system for identifying/ classifying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) at microwave frequencies. First, the paper presents the results of the vertical (VV) and horizontal (HH)
polarization RCS measurement of six commercial UAVs at 15 GHz and 25 GHz in a compact range anechoic chamber. The measurement results show that the average RCS of the UAVs depends on shape, size, material composition of the target UAV as well as the azimuth angle, frequency, and polarization of the illuminating radar. Afterward, radar characterization of the target UAVs is achieved by fitting the RCS measurement data to 11 different statistical models. From the model selection analysis, we observe that the lognormal, generalized extreme value, and gamma distributions are most suitable for modeling the RCS of the commercial UAVs while the Gaussian distribution performed relatively poorly. The best UAV radar statistics forms the class conditional probability densities for the proposed UAV statistical recognition system. The performance of the UAV statistical recognition system is evaluated at different signal noise ratio (SNR) with the aid of Monte Carlo analysis. At an SNR of 10 dB, the average classification accuracy of 97.43% or better is achievable.
In this work, we performed a thorough comparative analysis on a radio frequency (RF) based drone detection and identification system (DDI) under wireless interference, such as WiFi and Bluetooth, by using machine learning algorithms, and a pre-traine
d convolutional neural network-based algorithm called SqueezeNet, as classifiers. In RF signal fingerprinting research, the transient and steady state of the signals can be used to extract a unique signature from an RF signal. By exploiting the RF control signals from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for DDI, we considered each state of the signals separately for feature extraction and compared the pros and cons for drone detection and identification. Using various categories of wavelet transforms (discrete wavelet transform, continuous wavelet transform, and wavelet scattering transform) for extracting features from the signals, we built different models using these features. We studied the performance of these models under different signal to noise ratio (SNR) levels. By using the wavelet scattering transform to extract signatures (scattergrams) from the steady state of the RF signals at 30 dB SNR, and using these scattergrams to train SqueezeNet, we achieved an accuracy of 98.9% at 10 dB SNR.
