Adaptive Signal Processing for Complex Electromagnetic Environments

Description: With the continuous evolution of modern electronic warfare and complex electromagnetic environments, adaptive signal processing has become an indispensable core technology for ensuring the stable and efficient operation of radar, sonar, electronic reconnaissance, and communication systems. Traditional signal processing methods are increasingly difficult to adapt to the dynamic changes of electromagnetic environments, such as time-varying clutter, random interference, and multi-source signal aliasing, which leads to obvious degradation in the performance of signal detection, separation, and parameter estimation. As a key technical means to solve this problem, adaptive signal processing can dynamically adjust algorithm parameters according to the real-time characteristics of the received signals and environmental changes, thereby improving the robustness and adaptability of the system in complex scenarios. This special session is committed to building an academic exchange platform for global experts, scholars, and industry practitioners who engage in adaptive signal processing research. It focuses on the latest theoretical breakthroughs, algorithm innovations, hardware implementation technologies, and practical application cases of adaptive signal processing in complex electromagnetic environments, aiming to promote in-depth discussions on key technical bottlenecks, summarize cutting-edge research achievements, and point out future development directions, so as to promote the innovative development and engineering application of adaptive signal processing technology in related fields.
