Abstract
Radio frequency (RF) fingerprinting is a challenging and important
technique in individual identification of wireless devices. Recent work
has used deep learning-based classifiers on ADS-B signal without missing
aircraft ID information. However, traditional methods are difficult to
obtain well performance accuracy for classical deep learning methods to
recognize RF signals. This letter proposes a Gaussian Low-pass Channel
Attention Convolution Network (GLCA-Net), where a Gaussian Low-pass
Channel Attention module (GLCAM) is designed to extract fingerprint
features with low frequency. Particularly, in GLCAM, we design a
Frequency-Convolutional Global Average Pooling (F-ConvGAP) module to
help channel attention mechanism learn channel weights in frequency
domain. Experimental results on the datasets of large-scale real-world
ADS-B signals show that our method can achieve an accuracy of 92.08%,
which is 6.21% higher than Convolutional Neural Networks.
