Specific emitter identification involves extracting the fingerprint features that represent the individual differences of the emitter through processing the received signals. By identifying the extracted fingerprint features, one can also identify the emitter to which the received signals belong. Due to differences in transmitter hardware, this fingerprint cannot be duplicated. Therefore, SEI plays an important role in the field of information security and can reduce the information leakages caused by key theft. This method can also be used in the military field to support communication countermeasures via emitter individual identification. In this paper, empirical mode decomposition is carried out for each radar pulse signal, and then the bispectral features are extracted. Dimensionality reduction is carried out according to the symmetry of the bispectral features. The features after dimensionality reduction are input into a one-dimensional LeNet neural network as the fingerprint features of the emitter, and the identification of 10 radar emitter sources is completed. Based on the verification of real signals, the SEI identification strategy in this paper achieved a recognition rate of 96.4% for 10 radar signals, 98.9% for 10 data emitter signals, and 88.93% for 5 communication radio signals.
