Abstract :
The effectiveness of time-frequency representation of ultra-wideband radar target signatures, in conjunction with a multi-stage fuzzy neural network (MSFFN), is investigated in the context of aircraft identification. Experimental results on the backscattered data of six aircraft models show that a good level of identification rate is possible at signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) as low as 5 dB
