A new approach to signal classification using spectral correlation and neural networks
Abstract
Channel sensing and spectrum allocation has long been of interest as a prospective addition to cognitive radios for wireless communications systems occupying license-free bands. Conventional approaches to cyclic spectral analysis have been proposed as a method for classifying signals for applications where the carrier frequency and bandwidths are unknown, but is, however, computationally complex and requires a significant amount of observation time for adequate performance. Neural networks have been used for signal classification, but only for situations where the baseband signal is present. By combining these techniques a more efficient and reliable classifier can be developed where a significant amount of processing is performed offline, thus reducing online computation. In this paper we take a renewed look at signal classification using spectral coherence and neural networks, the performance of which is characterized by Monte Carlo simulations

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
