Abstract: In the 5G era, integration between different networks is required to realize a new world of Internet of things, the most typical model is Space–Air–Ground Internet of things. In the Space–Air–Ground Internet of things, unmanned aerial vehicle network is widely used as the representative of air-based networks. Therefore, a lot of unmanned aerial vehicle “black flying†incidents have occurred. UAVs are a kind of “low, slow and small†artificial targets, which face enormous challenges in detecting, identifying, and managing them. In order to identify the “black flying†unmanned aerial vehicle, combined with the advantages of 5G millimeter wave radar and machine learning methods, the following methods are adopted in this article. For a one-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle, the radar echo data are a single-component sinusoidal frequency modulation signal. The echo signal is conjugated first and then is subjected to a short-time Fourier transform, while the micro-Doppler has a double effect. For a multi-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle, the radar echo data are a multi-component sinusoidal frequency modulation signal, the k -order Bessel function base and the signal are used for integral projection processing, which better identifies the micro-Doppler characteristics such as the number of rotors or the rotational speed of each rotor. The noise interference is added to verify that the algorithm has better robustness. The micro-Doppler characteristics of rotor unmanned aerial vehicles are extracted by the above algorithm, and the data sets are built to train the model. Finally, the classification of unmanned aerial vehicle is realized, and the classification results are given. The research in this article provides an effective solution to solve the problem of detecting and identifying unmanned aerial vehicle by 5G millimeter wave radar in the Internet of Things, which has high practical application value.
