A light neural network for modulation detection under impairments
Thomas Courtat, Hélion du Mas des Bourboux
We present a neural network architecture able to efficiently detect modulation scheme in a portion of I/Q signals. This network is lighter by up to two orders of magnitude than other state-of-the-art architectures working on the same or similar tasks. Moreover, the number of parameters does not depend on the signal duration, which allows processing stream of data, and results in a signal-length invariant network. In addition, we have generated a dataset based on the simulation of impairments that the propagation channel and the demodulator can bring to recorded I/Q signals: random phase shifts, delays, roll-off, sampling rates, and frequency offsets. We benefit from this dataset to train our neural network to be invariant to impairments and quantify its accuracy at disentangling between modulations under realistic real-life conditions. Data and code to reproduce the results are made publicly available.
