Abstract

The paper proposes a new method for the classification of commonly used digital modulations. The method uses previously reported features such as instantaneous amplitude, instantaneous phase and spectrum symmetry beside a set of new features from both spectral and time domain. A classifier based on Gaussian mixture models was used to analyze the features and classify the modulations. ASK, FSK, MSK, BPSK, QPSK, PSK, FSK4 and QAM-16 were chosen for the classification as the best-known digital modulations used in modern communication technologies.
