Description
Summary:An automatic modulation classification (AMC) is a system is used to classify the modulation format of a received signal. It is a system placed in between the receiver and the demodulator. The AMC is crucial as the classification of received signal must be reliable to ensure the received information is correct. Therefore, a lot of studies had been conducted to look for the alternative for the improvement of classification accuracy of the AMC system. In this project, asynchronous delay tap sampling (ADTS) is proposed as a technique in modulation classification. From the ADTS, unique and distinct asynchronous delay tap plot (ADTP) is generated for each of the QPSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM digital modulated signal. These data are then reconstructed to become the input of a built-in support vector machine (SVM) classifier in MATLAB. Design of experiment (DoE) method is applied to improve the accuracy of the AMC system. In DoE, 22 factorial design method is applied. The two selected factors are the delay tap and the sampling period used in ADTS. The results of the classification showed that the accuracy of the classifier is 95.1%. Through DoE, the accuracy of the classifier using the optimum values is 97.6%. This shows an improvement in the accuracy of the AMC system by using the DoE method. In conclusion, the proposed techniques are fully capable of improving the accuracy of the AMC system.
