Abstract
A system whereby individual RF emitter devices are distinguished in real-world environments through deep-learning comprising an RF receiver for receiving RF signals from a plurality of individual devices; a preprocessor configured to produce complex-valued In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) IQ signal sample representations; a two-stage Augmented Dilated Causal Convolution (ADCC) network comprising a stack of dilated causal convolution layers and traditional convolutional layers configured to process I and Q components of the complex IQ samples; transfer learning comprising a classifier and a cluster embedding dense layer; unsupervised clustering whereby the RF signals are grouped according to a device that transmitted the RF signal; and an output identifying the individual RF emitter device whereby the individual RF emitter device is distinguished in the real-world environment.
