Abstract

The wideband coverage of the traditional FFT-based electronic warfare (EW) receiver is limited by the sampling frequency of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC). Compressed sensing (CS) based wideband EW digital receiver has been proposed and under development to process wideband sparse signals with reduced sampling rate. In this study, we calculate the sensitivity of a CS based EW receiver. Two modulation schemes of CS are used. One is pseudorandom chip (PRC) and the other is non-uniform sampling (NUS) modulation. The orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm is used to process CS data. The insufficient nature of the sparcity of the signal adversely affects the signal detection probability for both PRC and NUS modulation schemes. Methods to remedy this problem in both modulation schemes are proposed. The improvement in the signal detection and thus the sensitivity performance of the CS based receiver are presented.
