Abstract

Rasha M. Al-Makhlasawy

This paper discusses the modulation recognition for OFDM signals in different Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and multipath channels. In this paper, the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) used for feature extraction and the Support Vector Machine (SVM) as classifier or Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Simulation results indicate that the proposed feature classifier have good performances in different SNR and multipath channels for both recognition rate and CPU time from the Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and the SVM classifier’s generalizing ability proves to be good.
