Abstract

In this paper, an automatic recognition algorithm for linearly modulated signals like PSK, QAM under noncoherent asynchronous condition is proposed. Frequency, phase, and amplitude characteristics of digitally modulated signals are changed periodically. By using this characteristics, cyclic moments and higher order cumulants based features are utilized for the modulation recognition. Hierarchial decision tree method is used for high speed signal processing and totally 4 feature extraction parameters are used for modulation recognition. In the condition where the symbol number is 4,096, the recognition accuracy of the proposed algorithm is more than 95% at SNR 15dB. Also the proposed algorithm is effective to classify the signal which has carrier frequency and phase offset.

본 논문에서는 넌코히어런트 비동기 조건에서 PSK, QAM 등의 선형 디지털 변조 방식을 자동으로 식별하는 알고리즘을 제안한다. 디지털 변조 신호는 심볼 천이 주기간 주파수, 위상, 진폭 등의 특성이 반복적으로 변하게 된다. 이러한 특성을 이용하여 변조 방식을 식별할 수 있도록 순환 모멘트와 고차 큐뮬런트를 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 계층적 의사 결정 트리 방식의 알고리즘 구조를 사용하여 고속으로 처리 가능하도록 구성하였으며 총 4개의 특징 추출 인자를 사용하여 식별하였다. 모의실험 결과 심볼 수 4,096개, SNR 15dB 이상에서 95% 이상의 식별 정확도를 나타내었으며, 반송 주파수와 위상 편이가 발생하더라도 신호를 분류하는데 효과적임을 확인하였다.
