Enhanced FH-YOLO Framework for Robust Frequency Hopping Signal Parameter Estimation in Noisy Environments
摘要
Frequency-hopping (FH) communication, widely utilized in both military and civilian applications, offers robust anti-jamming capabilities and low probability of interception. However, its non-stationary nature and susceptibility to noise complicate the estimation of signal parameters, especially in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and non-cooperative scenarios. These challenges are further exacerbated by the need to process multimodal data, including time-frequency and noise features, simultaneously. To address these issues, we propose a novel framework for FH signal processing that combines advanced time-frequency analysis with a customized multimodal object detection network. High-resolution, denoised time-frequency representations are generated using the Short-Time Fourier Transform (STFT), time-frequency reconstruction, and Gaussian smoothing techniques. A lightweight detection network, FH-YOLO, is designed with a Universal Inverted Bottleneck (UIB), multi-scale fusion, and Depthwise Separable Coordinate Attention (DSCA) to enhance feature extraction and signal localization across different modalities. The detected bounding boxes are then mapped to time-frequency coordinates to enable accurate FH parameter estimation.
