Feature Image-Based Automatic Modulation Classification Method Using CNN Algorithm

In this paper, we propose a feature image-based automatic modulation classification (AMC) method to classify modulation type. The proposed method uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) which is one of deep learning algorithms for image classification. In order to classify the modulation type, various features are transformed in a two-dimensional image and this image is used as the input of the CNN. From the simulation results, we show that the proposed method improves classification performance.
