Recognition of NEMP and LEMP signals based on auto-regression model and artificial neutral network

Auto-regression (AR) model, one power spectrum estimation method of stationary random signals, and artifical neutral network were adopted to recognize nuclear and lightning electromagnetic pulses. Self-correlation function and Burg algorithms were used to acquire the AR model coefficients as eigenvalues, and BP artificial neural network was introduced as the classifier with different numbers of hidden layers and hidden layer nodes. The results show that AR model is effective in those signals, feature extraction, and the Burg algorithm is more effective than the self-correlation function algorithm.
