Application of machine learning techniques and empirical mode decomposition for the classification of analog modulated signals

Abstract

 w:edGrp="everyone"/><![endif]--><p class="Abstract">In this article, an automatic Analog Modulation Classifier based on Empirical mode decomposition and Machine learning approaches (AMC-EM) is proposed. The AMC-EM operates without a priori information and can recognise typical analog modulation schemes: amplitude modulation, phase modulation, frequency modulation, and single sideband modulation. The AMC-EM uses Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) to evaluate the features of the signal for the successive classification by using Machine Learning (ML). In the design of the AMC-EM, the selection of the specific ML technique is performed by comparing, with numerical tests, the performance of the (i) Support Vector Machine (SVM), (ii) k-nearest neighbor classifier, and (iii) adaptive boosting, since they are commonly used in the field of signal classification. The tests have highlighted that the SVM, specifically the quadratic SVM, permits the best possible performance concerning classification accuracy, by considering different noise intensities superimposed on the signal. To assess the advantages of the proposal, a comparison with other classifiers available in the literature has been undertaken through numerical tests. Finally, the AMC-EM is experimentally evaluated, and the experimental results agree with those of the simulation.</p><p class="Abstract"><span lang="EN-US"><br /><!--[if gte mso 11]><w:PermEnd w:id="205147274"/><![endif]--></span></p>

MobileRaT: A Lightweight Radio Transformer Method for Automatic Modulation Classification in Drone Communication Systems

“…For the given order and time delay, a spectrum-sensing and power recognition framework based on highorder cumulants (HCs) [19] was developed, which can eliminate the adverse impact of noise power uncertainty. Carnì et al [20] confirmed that SVMs driven by empirical mode decomposition (EMD-SVM) can identify typical analog modulation schemes, including amplitude modulation (AM), phase modulation (PM), frequency modulation (FM), and single-sideband modulation (SSB) without prior information. By combining the theories of cyclostationarity and entropy, an SVM driven by hybrid features, cyclostationarity, and information entropy (HCI-SVM) [21] was introduced to recognize digital modulation schemes.…”

“…FB methods accomplish the AMC task by constructing feature-driven machine learning classifiers. Commonly used features include cyclostationary features [18], high-order cumulants [19], and intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) [20]. The classifiers can be support vector machines (SVMs) [21], random forest (RF) [22], neural networks (NNs) [23] etc., FB methods can be easily deployed, but the design of features is labor-intensive and difficult to generalize well to different scenarios.…”

Local Distributed Node for Power Quality Event Detection Based on Multi-Sine Fitting Algorithm

“…The higher classification accuracy arises from the robustness of the HHT in the analysis of the non-stationarity signal and of the CNN to operate on noisy data. For the evaluation of the parameters of the event, in [ 44 ], the authors propose a tool based on the analysis of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) resulting from the EMD [ 45 , 46 , 47 ]. This decomposition is the basis through which the HHT is evaluated, so the same advantages of the HHT are provided by this procedure.…”
