Abstract

Abstract:

To improve the quality of communication signals with low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), limited sampling rates, and unknown center frequencies, and to enhance recognition performance, this paper implements adaptive estimation of the center frequency and proposes an improved wavelet denoising algorithm. The central frequency estimation section realizes rough classification based on the differences in the power spectrum of 11 types of communication signals, and improves the frequency centering method based on different classification results to achieve the estimation of the central frequency. The improved wavelet denoising algorithm addresses issues with soft and hard threshold functions by proposing a parameter-adjustable and continuous wavelet threshold function. Additionally, it uses wavelet energy ratios to characterize the energy distribution of wavelet coefficients for communication signals with different center frequencies, applying different processing methods based on their magnitudes. Finally, modulation recognition experiments are conducted on 11 types of communication signals within an SNR range of [-10, 10] dB. Simulation results show that the proposed denoising algorithm achieves notable noise reduction for all 11 types of communication signals, exhibiting an improvement of 10%-40% in the average signal recognition rate within the SNR range of [-10, 0] dB compared to the unprocessed signals.

Key words: low signal-to-noise ratio(SNR), unknown center frequency, improved wavelet threshold, wavelet energy ratio, modulation recognition
