A new feature extraction method based on time-frequency analysis is proposed for aircraft targets classification under low signal-to-noise ratio. This method uses the variances of time-domain modulation periods of jet aircraft, propeller aircraft and helicopter to extract the variation of entropy in the time-frequency domain and gives a way to select optimal window lengths. Experimental result based on simulated data and measured data demonstrates that the proposed method can significantly improve the classification probability of aircraft targets under low signal-to-noise ratio.
