Classification of Acousto-Optic Correlation Signatures of Spread Spectrum Signals Using Artificial Neural Networks

Abstract

The primary goal of this research was to determine if artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) can be trained to classify the correlation signatures of direct sequence and frequency-hopped spread-spectrum signals. Secondary goals were to determine (1) if network classification performance can be modeled with a conditional probability matrix, (2) if the symmetry of the matrices can be controlled, and (3) if using a majority vote rule over independently trained networks improves classification performance. Correlation signatures of the spread-spectrum signals were obtained from United States Army Harry Diamond Laboratories. The signatures were preprocessed and separated into various training and testing data sets. Thirty samples of network responses for several sets of training conditions were gathered using a neural network simulator. (rrh)
