Abstract:

Aiming at the problems of difficulty in guaranteeing the accuracy of feature extraction and poor recognition performance at low signal to noise ratio under the Rice channel, a modulation recognition method for communication radiator signal based on Choi-Williams distribution (CWD) and deep residual shrinkage network (DRSN) is proposed. In this work, CWD is used to convert the time-domain complex signals into two-dimensional time-frequency matrices firstly. Meanwhile, the soft thresholding is added to the deep residual networks (ResNets) to obtain the DRSN. Subsequently, the time-frequency matrices are used to train the DRSN. Modulation recognition network under different signal to noise ratios are finally constructed. Simulation experiments based on the RadioML2016.10a data show that the recognition network constructed has high accuracy and strong robustness to noise by utilizing partial prior information. At 0 dB, the overall recognition accuracy of the 11 types of signals reaches 89.95%. Above 2 dB, the overall recognition accuracy of the 11 types of signals exceeds 91%, which is better than other modulation recognition methods based on deep learning.

Key words: modulation recognition, soft thresholding, Choi-Williams distribution (CWD), deep residual shrinkage network (DRSN)
