Objectives: This study aims to present a framework for Automatic Modulation recognition using Deep learning without feature extraction. Methods: We study seven modulations using the In-Phase Quadrature constellation polluted by Additive White Gaussian Noise. We apply the K-means algorithm to normalize data transmitted and polluted by noise; the new diagram obtained is considered as an image and coded in pixel before entering in a Deep Neural Network where we apply 20% dropout on hidden layers to avoid overfitting. The simulation is carried out in Matlab. Findings: Experiment performed on selected modulations following the proposed framework gives a good percentage of recognition equal to 96.12%. Our algorithm Deep Neural Network imaGe gives the best performance results at epoch equal to 2,000,000. Applications: The outcome will be beneficial for researchers in Software-Defined Radio for civilian and military applications like electronic attacks and electronic protection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
