With the development of information technology in modern military confrontation, specific emitter identification has become a hot and difficult topic in the field of electronic warfare, especially in the field of electronic reconnaissance. Specific emitter identification requires a historical reconnaissance signal as the matching template. In order to avoid being intercepted by enemy electronic reconnaissance equipment, modern radar often has multiple sets of working parameters, such as pulse width and signal bandwidth, which change when performing different tasks and training. At this time, the collected fingerprint features cannot fully match the fingerprint template in the radar database, making the traditional specific emitter identification algorithm ineffective. Therefore, when the working parameters of enemy radar change, that is, when there is no such variable working parameter signal template in our radar database, it is a bottleneck problem in the current electronic reconnaissance field to realize the specific emitter identification. In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes a network model based on metric learning. By learning deep fingerprint features and learning a deep nonlinear metric between different sample signals, the same individual sample signals under different working parameters can be associated. Even if there are no samples under a certain kind of working parameter signal, it can still be associated with the original individual through this network model, so as to achieve the purpose of specific emitter identification. As opposed to the situation in which the traditional specific emitter identification algorithm cannot be associated with the original individual when the signal samples of changing working parameters are not collected, the algorithm proposed in this paper can better solve the problem of changing working parameters and zero samples.

AbstractA 6–18 GHz high-power amplifier (HPA) design in GaN on SiC technology is presented. This power amplifier consists of a two-stage corporate amplifier with two and four transistors, respectively. It has been fabricated on UMS using their 0.25 µm gate length process, GH25. A study of the suitable attachment method and measurement on wafer and on jig are detailed. This HPA exhibits an averaged output power of 39.2 dBm with a mean gain of 11 dB in saturation and a 24.5% maximum power added efficiency in pulse mode operation with a duty cycle of 10% with a 25 µs pulse width.

The 1-bit sonic environment (perhaps most famously musically employed on the ZX Spectrum) is defined by extreme limitation. Yet, belying these restrictions, there is a surprisingly expressive instrumental versatility. This article explores the theory behind the primary, idiosyncratically 1-bit techniques available to the composer-programmer, those that are essential when designing “instruments” in 1-bit environments. These techniques include pulse width modulation for timbral manipulation and means of generating virtual polyphony in software, such as the pin pulse and pulse interleaving techniques. These methodologies are considered in respect to their compositional implications and instrumental applications.
