Technology for blind phase-shift keying (PSK) and quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) identification of a received radio frequency (RF) signal is disclosed. One method can include: uniform sub-sampling the received RF signal to eliminate a phase contribution from a carrier frequency of the received RF signal; and computing a likelihood function of observed phase differences of the sub-sampled received RF signal of a phase sequence for each PSK modulation type. Another method can include: non-uniformly sub-sampling the received RF signal for a distribution of signal amplitudes of the received RF signal; and computing a likelihood function of the signal amplitudes of the sub-samples of the received RF signal for each modulation type.
