description Modern cognitive electronic reconnaissance methods for radar systems must contend with the complex electromagnetic environments arising from the deployment of multiple signal sources and radar countermeasures, which greatly limit access to the degree of prior information required to enable effective target recognition. The present work addresses this issue by proposing a multiperspective collaborative clustering method for sorting radiation sources based on the multiperspective information of radar signals. In contrast to conventional collaborative training approaches, which are suitable only for semisupervised learning, the proposed multiperspective collaborative clustering method performs unsupervised clustering, cluster label transfer, and dimensionality reduction by linear discriminant analysis iteratively based on the differences between the clustering results obtained from two signal perspectives radiation signal sorting can be conducted in a noncooperative context. The results of comparative experiments demonstrate that the proposed multiperspective sorting method can make full use of the difference information between basic signal characteristics and intrapulse features and thereby improve the accuracy of clustering-based radiation source sorting. Accordingly, the sorting ability of the proposed method is superior to those of other state-of-the-art clustering methods and that of the single-perspective clustering-based sorting method.
