Communication Signal Modulation Recognition Based on Inception-V3 Transfer Learning

Published:17 October 2023Publication History

ABSTRACT

Deep learning-based modulation recognition algorithms for communication signals have poor recognition performance when only a small number of labeled signal samples are available. A modulation recognition method based on Inception-V3 transfer learning is proposed to solve this problem. This method first converts eight types of modulated signal samples from 0 to 20 dB into time-frequency diagrams as input and fine-tunes the pre-trained network Inception-V3 for transfer learning, conducts test experiments on three datasets with finitely labeled samples, and finally visualizes the feature learning of the training process to ensure that the features of the signals are correctly learned. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve the highest recognition accuracy of 94.07% at 20 dB with insufficient training samples, and still achieve 92.50% and 91.67% recognition accuracy at 20 dB with only 4400 and 1760 samples, respectively.
