A Self-Supervised Method Based on CV-MUNet plus plus for Active Jamming Suppression in SAR Images

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system is susceptible to electromagnetic jamming during imaging, which seriously affects the subsequent interpretation of SAR images. Aiming at the problem of active suppressive jamming, this article proposes a suppression method of SAR suppressive jamming based on self-supervised complex-valued deep learning, which consists of a novel complex-valued jamming suppression network CV-MUNet++ and a self-supervised training strategy. CV-MUNet++ could fully use the amplitude and phase information of complex-valued SAR images. The network's weights, activation functions, and convolution operations are designed for complex domain processing. The different information representations of target and jamming in amplitude and phase in SAR images are mined to achieve jamming suppression. The self-supervised training strategy is proposed to solve the problem of relying heavily on manually labeled samples in the traditional network training process and is suitable for application scenarios where ground truth is difficult to obtain under complex jamming. The experimental results show that the proposed method could effectively suppress the active jamming of complex backgrounds and has the ability to self-supervised intelligent jamming suppression.
