“…After numerous tests, the best configuration of the ANN based demodulator consists of the multiplayer perceptron architecture with 20 neurons in the input layer, 210 neurons in the hidden and 2 neurons in the output layer. The ANN is trained by using modulated signals generated according to the UMTS standard [3], [5] and [7] in the following operating conditions: (i) assigned scrambling code, and (ii) assigned channel set [0, 1,5,7]. Therefore, the trained ANN can be used in the following The trend of the percentage error, defined as difference between the assigned symbol and the detected one, is shown in Fig.2 versus the epochs of the training phase.…”
