Abstract

A novel automatic digital modulation recognition classifier combining adaptive resonance theory 2A (ART2A) with discrete wavelet neural network (DWNN), called ART2A-DWNN, is proposed in this paper. The modified ART2A network with a low vigilance parameter is used to categorize input modulation schemes into some classes and then DWNN is employed in each class to recognize modulation schemes. Moreover, error back propagation (BP) learning algorithm with momentum is adopted in DWNN to speed up the training phase and improve the convergence capability. Simulation results obtained from modulated signals corrupted with Gaussian noise at 8dB Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) are given to evaluate the performance of the proposed method and it is found that the benefits of the developed method include improvement of recognition capability, training convergence enhancement and easiness to accommodate new patterns without forgetting old ones.
