Abstract:To address the performance degradation of radar target recognition in complex electromagnetic interference (EMI) environments, an interference type classification method based on spatial-temporal aware dual-stream fusion network (STF-Net) was proposed. The method constructed a two-branch architecture comprising a local feature extraction branch and a global feature extraction branch, which respectively capture spatial-local detail features from range-Doppler images and temporal-global contextual features. A dedicated feature fusion module was designed to effectively integrate multi-scale representations. Furthermore, a classification-optimized feature discrimination loss function was proposed to jointly optimize classification loss and feature discrimination loss, thereby improving the model’s capability to distinguish between various types of interference and real targets. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly enhances both accuracy and robustness of interference and target recognition in complex EMI scenarios, offering a novel solution for radar anti-interference applications.
