In the paper a method for automatic classification of signals received by EKB and MAGW ISTP SB RAS coherent scatter radars (8-20MHz operating frequency) during 2021 is described. The method is suitable for automatic physical interpretation of the resulting classification of the experimental data in realtime. We called this algorithm Wrapped Classifier with Dummy Teacher. The method is trained on unlabeled dataset and is based on training optimal physics-based classification using clusterization results. The approach is close to optimal embedding search, where the embedding is interpreted as a vector of probabilities for soft classification. The approach allows to find optimal classification algorithm, based on physically interpretable parameters of the received data, both obtained during physics-based numerical simulation and measured experimentally. Dummy Teacher clusterer used for labeling unlabeled dataset is gaussian mixture clustering algorithm. For algorithm functioning we extended the parameters obtained by the radar with additional parameters, calculated during simulation of radiowave propagation using ray-tracing and IRI-2012 and IGRF models for ionosphere and Earth's magnetic field correspondingly. For clustering by Dummy Teacher we use the whole dataset of available parameters (measured and simulated ones). For classification by Wrapped Classifier we use only well physically interpreted parameters. As a result we trained the classification network and found 11 well-interpretable classes from physical point of view in the available data. Five other found classes are not interpretable from physical point of view, demonstrating the importance of taking into account radiowave propagation for correct classification.
