  • Patent number: 11586879
    Abstract: 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.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11477060
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 11443167
    Abstract: Systems and methods for classifying baseband signals with respect to modulation type include receiving, at a consolidated neural network whose objective is modulation classification performance, a complex quadrature vector of interest including multiple samples of a baseband signal derived from a radio frequency signal of unknown modulation type, 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 a classification result for the baseband signal based on combined outputs of the parallel neural networks.
