Special Session 9  会议特别专题 9

Signal Processing for Electronic Support Measures and Countermeasure

Description: Signal processing for Electronic Support Measures (ESM) and Electronic Countermeasures (ECM) is widely applied in Electronic Warfare (EW), radar systems, communication systems, and defense technologies. This field integrates signal processing techniques, electronic warfare theory, and systems engineering to support electronic warfare tasks, including signal detection, identification, localization, interference generation, and interference suppression.

Introduction of Session organizers

Assoc. Prof. Lutao Liu, Harbin Engineering University, China

Lutao Liu obtained his B.S. degree from Southeast University, his M.S. degree from Harbin Institute of Technology, and his Ph.D. from Harbin Engineering University. Between 2013 and 2014, he served as a Visiting Scholar at the Sevens Institute of Technology in the United States. He is currently an Associate Professor at Harbin Engineering University. He has led projects funded by the National Science Foundation of China, the Aeronautical Science Foundation of China, and the National Defense Pre-Research Program. He has published more than 50 SCI-indexed papers and been awarded provincial and ministerial-level scientific and technological awards for times. He is a senior member of IEEE. His research focuses on electronic warfare signal processing, including spatial spectrum estimation, passive localization, radar signal sorting, and radar jamming techniques.



Assoc. Prof. Muran Guo, Harbin Engineering University, China

Muran Guo received his Ph.D. from Harbin Engineering University in 2019. From October 2016 to April 2018, he was a visiting student at the Advanced Signal Processing Laboratory in Temple University, USA. He is currently an Associate Professor and a Master Supervisor at the College of Information and Communication Engineering, Harbin Engineering University. His primary research interests include radar signal processing, array signal processing, compressed sensing, information theory, MIMO radar, and signal modulation recognition. He has published multiple papers in IEEE TSP, IEEE TAES, IEEE TVT and IEEE SPL, and currently serves as a Youth Editorial Board Member for Aero Weaponry and the reviewer for journals in the signal processing field, including IEEE TSP, IEEE TAES, Signal Processing, and IEEE SPL.



Assoc. Prof. Xu Chen, Harbin Engineering University, China

Xu Chen received the M.S. degree from Northeastern University (NEU), Shenyang, China, in 2020 and the Ph.D. degree from National University of Defense Technology (NUDT), Changsha, China, in 2024. He is currently an Associate Professor at College of Information and Communication Engineering, Harbin Engineering University (HEU), Harbin, China. His research interests include millimeter-wave radar imaging, MIMO array signal processing, and radar electronic countermeasure technology. As a key team member, he has participated in multiple projects, such as the National Key R&D Program, the National Natural Science Foundation, and the National Defense Technology Plan. To date, he has authored over ten SCI-indexed journal papers (one of which ranks in the top 1% of ESI highly cited papers for 2023). He is a long-term reviewer for high-level SCI journals such as IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement (TIM), IEEE Transactions on Computational Imaging (TCI), IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques (TMTT). In 2025, he received the Outstanding Reviewer Award from IEEE TIM, a top journal in the field of instrumentation and measurement.
