Convolutional Radio Modulation Recognition Networks

We study the adaptation of convolutional neural networks to the complex-valued temporal radio signal domain. We compare the efficacy of radio modulation classification using naively learned features against using expert feature based methods which are widely used today and e show significant performance improvements. We show that blind temporal learning on large and densely encoded time series using deep convolutional neural networks is viable and a strong candidate approach for this task especially at low signal to noise ratio.
