Systems and methods for classifying radio frequency signal modulations include receiving, at a consolidated neural network, a complex quadrature vector of interest representative of a baseband signal derived from a radio frequency signal, generating multiple data representations of the vector of interest, providing each data representation to one of multiple parallel neural networks in the consolidated neural network, and receiving, from the consolidated neural network, a classification result for the baseband signal. The consolidated neural network may be trained to classify baseband signals with respect to known modulation types by receiving complex quadrature training vectors, each including samples of a baseband signal derived from a radio frequency signal of known modulation type, comparing a classification result for the training vector to the known modulation type to determine modulation classification performance, and modifying a configuration parameter of the consolidated neural network dependent on the determined modulation classification performance.

Systems and methods for modulation classification of baseband signals using multiple data representations of signal samples

Systems and methods for classifying baseband signals include receiving, at a pre-processing stage of a neural network whose objective is modulation classification performance, a complex quadrature vector of interest including a plurality of samples of a baseband signal derived from a radio frequency signal of an unknown modulation type, providing the vector of interest to a plurality of FIR filters, each of which outputs a respective intermediate filtered version of the vector of interest, combining the outputs of two or more of the FIR filters to produce a filtered version of the vector of interest, including applying respective weightings to the outputs of the FIR filters, and providing the filtered version of the vector of interest to an analysis stage of the neural network for classification with respect to a plurality of known modulation types. The neural network may apply attention-based selection to learn the filters and respective weightings.
