Abstract

Due to the traditional recognition researches prevalently fastening on HRRP's amplitudes while almost completely neglecting the phases, this paper attempts to directly prove the discriminant availability of HRRP's phases via two proposed fusion recognition strategies. The first strategy includes three sub-processes, respectively, based on phase cosine, phase sine and their fusion. The second strategy also includes three sub-processes, respectively, based on phases, amplitudes and their fusion. Additionally, a trigonometric function couple (TFC) method is used to reduce the phase sensitivity. Several measured experimental results indicate as follows. Firstly, employing TFC can perform much better. Secondly, the two fusion recognition sub-processes apparently outperform the corresponding subprocesses constructing them. Finally, phase information usually has a better noise immunity compared with amplitude information, and fusing phase information into amplitudes may improve the traditional recognition performance. Therefore, the availabilities of HRRP's phases and the two fusion strategies have been experimentally proven.
