Abstract

The paper describes algorithm for the classification of digital modulations and its testing with disturbed signals. 2ASK, 2FSK, 4FSK, MSK, BPSK, QPSK, 8PSK and 16QAM were chosen for recognition as the best-known digital modulations used in modern communication technologies. The method designed uses ten features computed from parameters of recognized signal such as instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase, instantaneous frequency and spectrum characteristic. The GentleBoost algorithm was used to analyze the features and classify the modulations. We used multipath fading channel to model signal propagation and disturbed the signal by white Gaussian noise for the purpose of testing the algorithm.
