The Algorithm of Modulation Classification Based on Eigenface and Support Vector Machine in Low SNR

Abstract

To improve the accuracy and reliability of modulation recognition at low signal to noise ratio (SNR) and few knowledge of signal parameter, the novel method based on the cyclic spectral feature and support vector machine(SVM) is presented. In the process of novel algorithms, the cyclic spectral analysis is used to realize the feature extract of the modulated signals, and the Eigenface method is used to reduce the amount of spectral coherence feature. Then, a new scheme of classification based on support vector machine is presented to classify the modulation signal. The experiment shows that the modulation classification accuracy of presented method is significantly improved at low SNR environment.
