In this study, the signal design principles of anti-cluster and anti-SDIF sorting were investigated for processes of clustering pre-sorting and sequence-difference-histogram main sorting. Then, in accordance with the signal design principle, a 2D interleaving feedback hyperchaotic system based on the cosine-exponential was designed. A method to modulate the pulse repetition interval (PRI) of the signal parameters and carrier frequency with wide intervals through the hyperchaotic system was developed. Finally, we verified the correctness of the signal design principle, the performance of the hyperchaotic system, and the anti-sorting performance of the designed signal using simulations. The results showed that the signal design principle could guide the signal design. The hyperchaotic system outperformed the classical 1D and 2D chaotic systems and the classical 3D Lorenz systems in terms of randomness and complexity. Anti-cluster sorting and anti-SDIF sorting could be realized by anti-sorting signals modulated by a hyperchaotic system, with the anti-SDIF sorting performance being better than that of the PRI random jitter signal.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e24091283","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,12]],"date-time":"2022-09-12T22:53:46Z","timestamp":1663023226000},"page":"1283","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Design of Multi-Parameter Compound Modulated RF Stealth Anti-Sorting Signals Based on Hyperchaotic Interleaving Feedback"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Jinwei","family":"Jia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shijiazhuang Campus, Army Engineering University, Shijiazhuang 050003, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhuangzhi","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shijiazhuang Campus, Army Engineering University, Shijiazhuang 050003, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yuying","family":"Liang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Aerospace Engineering, Nanchang Institute of Technology, Nanchang 330000, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Limin","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shijiazhuang Campus, Army Engineering University, Shijiazhuang 050003, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xuetian","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information and Electronics, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing 100081, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"326","article-title":"A Tri-Satellite TDOA Location Algorithm with Calibration Sources","volume":"39","author":"Ren","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
