Intelligent Detection of DSSS Signals Under False-Alarm Rate Constraints Based on a Noise Score-Pool Threshold Calibration Mechanism
-
摘要: 针对弱信号场景下导航直扩信号传统检测方法性能受限,以及现有深度学习检测模型普遍缺乏有效虚警率控制机制的问题,该文提出了一种虚警率可控的直扩信号深度学习检测方法。该方法创新性地提出了基于噪声分数池的检测阈值自适应标定机制,同时设计了适配I/Q信号一维序列输入的改进的残差神经网络。通过统计噪声数据集经网络处理后输出的置信度分数的经验分布,根据预设虚警率来标定检测判决阈值,从而将深度学习模型纳入经典的恒虚警率评估框架。此外,该文验证了有无归一化处理的数据预处理策略对弱信号检测的影响。仿真结果表明,该文所提模型整体检测性能较传统自相关方法提升3~4 dB,无归一化处理策略相较于归一化处理性能提升约1 dB。在非理想的高斯色噪声环境下,该模型同样展现出优于传统方法的检测性能与稳健的泛化能力。Abstract:
Objective To address the performance degradation of GNSS signal detection in weak-signal environments and the lack of false alarm rate (FAR) control in existing deep learning models, this study investigates a detection method under a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) constraint to enhance receiver reliability and practicality. Methods This study models the detection of direct sequence spread spectrum signals as a binary classification problem and proposes a comprehensive DL-based detection framework. The methodology is centered on three core innovations. First, an adaptive one-dimensional residual neural network (1D-ResNet-18) is designed to suit the characteristics of I/Q sampled time-series data. Key modifications include adjusting the input convolution kernels to 1×3 and removing the initial maximum pooling layer to prevent the loss of fine-grained features inherent in weak signals. Second, a "noise score pool threshold calibration" mechanism is introduced. By inputting a large volume of pure noise samples into the trained network, an empirical distribution of confidence scores for the "signal present" category is constructed. Decision thresholds are then dynamically determined based on the quantiles corresponding to preset FAR levels. Third, an unnormalized data preprocessing strategy is adopted, as it is demonstrated that preserving the original signal amplitude information is beneficial for network learning under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. The model's performance was rigorously validated using a simulated GPS L1 C/A signal dataset under various SNRs, FAR settings, and non-ideal colored noise environments. Results and Discussions Experimental results demonstrate significant performance gains achieved by the proposed method. At a FAR of 0.01, the detection probability approaches 100% at an SNR of –8 dB, marking a substantial improvement over traditional techniques. A systematic comparison of different FAR settings ( 0.0001 , 0.001, and 0.01) indicates that while the detection probability curve predictably shifts as the FAR decreases, overall performance remains consistently high. Furthermore, the unnormalized data preprocessing strategy consistently outperformed the normalized strategy, introducing a performance gain of approximately 1 dB in the low SNR range. Compared with traditional autocorrelation detection methods, the deep learning model exhibits a significant overall detection performance improvement of 3 to 4 dB across various false alarm rates. Notably, the method also displayed robust generalization in untrained, non-ideal colored noise environments.Conclusions The proposed method effectively bridges data-driven deep learning with classical detection theory, resolving the lack of FAR control in neural networks. By balancing high sensitivity with precise false alarm management, this work provides a practical and robust framework for navigation signal processing in complex environments. -
