Abstract: The limited forms of atoms in analytical dictionary lead to sub-optimal matching of atoms and complex emitter signal, resulting in low recognition rate of signal modulation. A dictionary learning method based on Fisher discrimination criterion is proposed to improve the recognition efficiency. The time-frequency transformation of emitter signal is made. The feature vectors are extracted from time-frequency graph using image processing method, which are added class labels. In the dictionary training, the Fisher criterion with small within-class scatter and big between-class scatter is introduced, by which the dictionary not only represents signal more suitably, but also owns better classification performance. The simulated result proves that, compared to analytical dictionary and non-supervision dictionary, the proposed method can obtain a better recognition rate, especially under low SNR. For the atom number Ns=20, Fisher discrimination dictionary can achieve a pretty good balance in recognition rate and calculation amount. Key
