DualAttWaveNet: Multiscale Attention Networks for Satellite Interference Detection

Abstract

The escalating overlap between non-geostationary orbit (NGSO) and geostationary orbit (GSO) satellite frequency allocations necessitates accurate interference detection methods that address two pivotal technical gaps: computationally efficient signal analysis for real-time operation, and robust anomaly discrimination under varying interference patterns. Existing deep learning approaches employ encoder-decoder anomaly detectors that threshold input-output discrepancies for robustness. While the transformer-based TrID model achieves state-of-the-art performance (AUC: 0.8318, F1: 0.8321), its multi-head attention incurs prohibitive computation time, and its decoupled training of time-frequency models overlooks cross-domain dependencies. To overcome these problems, we propose DualAttWaveNet. A bidirectional attention fusion layer dynamically correlates time-domain samples using parameter-efficient cross-attention routing. A wavelet-regularized reconstruction loss enforces multi-scale consistency. We train the model on public dataset which consists of 48 hours of satellite signals. Experiments show that compared to TrID, DualAttWaveNet improves AUC by 12% and reduces inference time by 50% to 540ms per batch while maintaining F1-score.
