Abstract:

To estimate the parameters of frequency-hopping signals, a new combination of Wigner-Ville distribution based on frequency decomposition is put forward according to the characteristics of frequency-hopping signals. First, a multi-component frequency-hopping signal is decomposed into multiple single-component signals with a group of band filters. Then the WVD of each component is summed up to form a new time-frequency distribution. Theoretical analysis and simulation result show that the new combination of Wigner-Ville distribution is effective to the reduction in cross-term interference of frequency-hopping signals. Compared with the existing method, this new method preserves a higher time-frequency resolution. Therefore, it is more suitable to time-frequency analysis and parameter estimation of frequency-hopping signals.

Key words: frequency-hopping signals, combination of Wigner-Ville distribution, cross-term, time-frequency resolution
