Radar signal recognition under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions is a critical issue in modern electronic reconnaissance systems, which face significant challenges in recognition accuracy due to signal diversity. A novel method for radar signal detection based on the bagging support vector machine (SVM) is proposed in this paper.This method firstly utilizes the Choi–Williams distribution (CWD) and the smooth pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution (SPWVD) to obtain different time–frequency images of radar signals, which effectively leverages CWD’s strong time–frequency aggregation and SPWVD’s robust cross-interference resistance. Moreover, histograms of oriented gradient (HOG) features are extracted from time–frequency images to train multiple SVM classifiers by bootstrap sampling. Finally, the performance of each SVM classifier is aggregated using plurality voting to reduce the risk of model overfitting and improve recognition accuracy. We evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method using 12 different types of radar signals. The experimental results demonstrate that its overall identification rate reaches around 79% at an SNR of −10 dB, and it improves the recognition rate by 5% compared with a single classifier.
