Abstract
Radar emitter identification has been studied for decades using library-based techniques that rely on pre-existing knowledge of parameters such as radio frequency (RF), pulse amplitude, pulse width, intentional pulse modulation type, or pulse repetition intervals. However, current radar emitter identification techniques will not be sufficient against cognitive radars due to their parameter agility and adaptability. In this study, five radar emitter identification fingerprints based on radar signal transients were analyzed and compared. These fingerprints include: (1) fractal dimension estimation of signal transients, (2) natural measures of signal transients, (3) polynomial regression of a signal transient energy trajectory acquired by its 4th order cumulants, (4) RF fingerprints based on the energy trajectory characteristics of signal transients, and (5) intrinsic shape of the rising edge of a pulse. The analysis and comparison were performed using K-Nearest Neighbours, Quadratic Discriminant Analysis, and relative entropy over a dataset from five different radar emitters. The advantages and drawbacks of each technique are highlighted. Our results show that (2), (4) and (5) achieve very competitive emitter identification performance using the selected radar datasets and classification algorithms. This study also demonstrates that the optimal emitter identification performance is dependent on the combination of RF fingerprints and classification algorithms.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
