<abstract><p>Digital intercept receivers are moving away from Fourier-based analysis towards classical time-frequency analysis techniques along with other novel analysis techniques for the purpose of analyzing low probability of intercept radar signals. This paper presents a novel approach of the joint sequential use of the Reassigned Smooth Pseudo Wigner-Ville Distribution and the Hough Transform versus the Reassigned Smooth Pseudo Wigner-Ville Distribution for characterizing low probability of intercept triangular modulated frequency modulated continuous wave radar signals. The metrics used for evaluation were -percent error of the chirp rate, percent detection, and lowest signal-to-noise ratio for signal detection. Experimental results demonstrate that overall, the joint sequential use of the Reassigned Smooth Pseudo Wigner-Ville Distribution and the Hough Transform signal processing techniques produced more accurate metrics than the Reassigned Smooth Pseudo Wigner-Ville Distribution signal processing technique.
