In this technique, the signal carrier frequency hops over a large band. The conventional non-compressed receiver must sample the signal at high rates to catch the entire frequency-hopping range, which is unfeasible for wide frequency-hopping ranges. In this paper, we propose an efficient adaptive compressed method to measure and detect the FHSS signals non-cooperatively. In contrast to the literature, the FHSS signal-detection method proposed in this paper is achieved directly with compressed sampling rates. The measurement kernels (the non-zero coefficients in the measurement matrix) are designed adaptively, using continuously updated knowledge from the compressed measurement. More importantly, in contrast to the iterative optimizations of the measurement matrices in the literature, the deep neural networks are trained once using task-specific information optimization and repeatedly implemented for measurement kernel design, enabling efficient adaptive detection of the FHSS signals. Simulations show that the proposed method provides stably low missing detection rates, compared to the compressed detection with random measurement kernels and the recently proposed method. Meanwhile, the measurement design in the proposed method is shown to provide improved efficiency, compared to the commonly used recursive method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e25010011","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]],"date-time":"2022-12-22T01:33:12Z","timestamp":1671672792000},"page":"11","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Knowledge-Enhanced Compressed Measurements for Detection of Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum Signals Based on Task-Specific Information and Deep Neural Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3110-8498","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Feng","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Information and Optical Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin 300350, China"},{"name":"Tianjin Key Laboratory of Optoelectronic Sensor and Sensing Network Technology, Nankai University, Tianjin 300350, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yinghai","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Information and Optical Engineering, Nankai University, Tianjin 300350, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Zhu, J.
