Automatic Detection of Modulation Scheme Using Convolutional Neural Networks

Abstract This paper summarizes the intelligent detection of modulation scheme in an incoming signal, build on convolutional neural network (CNN). It describes the creation of training dataset, realization of CNN, testing and validation. The raw modulated signals are converted into 2D and put on to the network for training. The resulting prototype is adopted for detection. The results signify that the intended approach gives better prediction for the identification of modulated signal without need for any selective feature extraction. The system performance on noise is also evaluated and modelled.
