The rapid development of the drone industry brings security risks to low-altitude airspace in important places. In order to effectively defense unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), it is of great significance to develop a system which can identify drone models by radio signal. To identify similar UAVs, a UAV signal recognition method based on re-classification and separation of image transmission signal (ITS) and flight control signal (FCS) is proposed. The OFDM time domain parameters of ITS are extracted for model pre-classification. Then, after extracting the time-frequency features of ITS and FCS respectively, the UAV can be identified with high precision by SVM. The experimental results show that the average accuracy of the four DJI UAVs can reach more than 95% when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is 0dB.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
