Addressing the computational demands and data requirements associated with deep learning techniques, this study presents a novel Specific Emitter Identification (SEI) strategy, based on Multi-Scale Multi-Dimensional Approximate Entropy (MSMD-AE). We focus on the steady-state segment of received signals, obtained through Katz Fractal Dimension (KFD). The performance of proposed method is thoroughly evaluated across a range of SNR variations for two distinct scenarios, involving real-world Very High-Frequency (VHF) radios and open-source cell phone datasets. A comprehensive comparison with the most relevant literature exhibits the superior performance of proposed MSMD-AE method.
