摘要

Automatic modulation classification (AMC) of proximity detector signals is essential for effective electronic countermeasures. However, due to signal distortion and information loss, AMC becomes very challenging under interrupted sampling (IS) conditions. To tackle this, a new AMC method using the Polynomial Chirplet Transform (PCT) and a Time–Frequency Reconstruction Network (TFRNet), referred to as PCT-TFRNet, is proposed. The PCT is used to preprocess the signal and enhance the separability of its time–frequency (TF) features. TFRNet is built with an asymmetric encoder-decoder structure and incorporates an adaptive random mask algorithm to reconstruct complete TF representations from inputs under IS modes. To further boost learning efficiency with limited samples, a self-supervised pretraining strategy is employed, followed by transfer learning on small-scale labeled IS samples. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves high classification accuracy with limited samples. Specifically, PCT-TFRNet attains 89% accuracy when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is at least −14 dB, demonstrating strong robustness and generalization in low-SNR and small-sample scenarios. This confirms the effectiveness of the approach for AMC of IS proximity detector signals.
