Online modulation recognition of analog communication signals using neural network

摘要

In this paper, a neural network based online analog modulation recognition of communication signals is presented. The proposed system can discriminate between amplitude modulation (AM), frequency modulation (FM), double sideband (DSB), upper sideband (USB), lower sideband (LSB) and continuous wave (CW) modulations. A matlab graphical user interface (GUI) is designed to see the intercepted signal, its power spectral density, frequency and modulation type on the screen of the personnel computer. To achieve correct classification, extensive simulations have been done for training the neural network. Theoretical simulations and experimental results indicate good performance even at signal-to-noise ratios as low as 5 dB.
