Automatic modulation recognition of radio fuzes using a DR2D-based adaptive denoising method and textural feature extraction

The identification of intercepted radio fuze modulation types is a prerequisite for decision-making in interference systems.However,the electromagnetic environment of modern battlefields is complex,and the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)of such environments is usually low,which makes it difficult to implement accurate recognition of radio fuzes.To solve the above problem,a radio fuze automatic modulation recognition(AMR)method for low-SNR environments is proposed.First,an adaptive denoising algorithm based on data rearrangement and the two-dimensional(2D)fast Fourier transform(FFT)(DR2D)is used to reduce the noise of the intercepted radio fuze intermediate frequency(IF)signal.Then,the textural features of the denoised IF signal rearranged data matrix are extracted from the statistical indicator vectors of gray-level cooccurrence matrices(GLCMs),and support vector machines(SVMs)are used for classification.The DR2D-based adaptive denoising algorithm achieves an average correlation coefficient of more than 0.76 for ten fuze types under SNRs of-10 d B and above,which is higher than that of other typical algorithms.The trained SVM classification model achieves an average recognition accuracy of more than 96%on seven modulation types and recognition accuracies of more than 94%on each modulation type under SNRs of-12 d B and above,which represents a good AMR performance of radio fuzes under low SNRs.

Automatic modulation recognition of radiation source signals based on two-dimensional data matrix and improved residual neural network

Automatic modulation recognition(AMR)of radiation source signals is a research focus in the field of cognitive radio.However,the AMR of radiation source signals at low SNRs still faces a great challenge.Therefore,the AMR method of radiation source signals based on two-dimensional data matrix and improved residual neural network is proposed in this paper.First,the time series of the radiation source signals are reconstructed into two-dimensional data matrix,which greatly simplifies the signal preprocessing process.Second,the depthwise convolution and large-size convolutional kernels based residual neural network(DLRNet)is proposed to improve the feature extraction capability of the AMR model.Finally,the model performs feature extraction and classification on the two-dimensional data matrix to obtain the recognition vector that represents the signal modulation type.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the AMR method based on two-dimensional data matrix and improved residual network can significantly improve the accuracy of the AMR method.The recognition accuracy of the proposed method maintains a high level greater than 90% even at -14 dB SNR.

Automatic Recognition of Analog Modulated Signals Using Artificial Neural Networks

This paper presents work on modulated signal recognition using an artificial neural network （ANN） developed using the Python programme language. The study is basically on the analysis of analog modulated signals. Four of the best-known analog modulation types are considered namely： amplitude modulation （AM）, double sideband （DSB） modulation, single sideband （SSB） modulation and frequency modulation （FM）. Computer simulations of the four modulated signals are carried out using MATLAB. MATLAB code is used in simulating the analog signals as well as the power spectral density of each of the analog modulated signals. In achieving an accurate classification of each of the modulated signals, extensive simulations are performed for the training of the artificial neural network. The results of the study show accurate and correct performance of the developed automatic modulation recognition with average success rate above 99.5%.

An Improved Algorithm for Blind Carrier Frequency Estimation with Burst MPSK Transmissions

This paper presents an improved non-data-aided algo- rithm for carrier frequency estimation for burst M-ary PSK signals when modulation order M and training symbols are unknown. Unlike data-aided estimation, a phase clustering algorithm is used first to estimate M and modulated information is removed by a vari- able interval linear phase unwrapping. Then, a high-order correlation algorithm with proper correction is present, which reduces the probability of phase ambiguity and promotes anti-noise capability of the estimation. Simulations are given to analyze the unbiased esti- mation range, and the asymptotic performance and symbol number are needed to compare with the former algorithms. The new algo- rithm has a large estimation range close to the theoretical maximum value for non-data-aided estimation and has a better performance than earlier non-data-aided techniques for large frequency offset, low signal-to-noise ratio, and limited symbol numbers.
