Abstract: To improve the accuracy of modulated signal recognition in variable environments and reduce the impact of factors such as lack of prior knowledge on recognition results, researchers have gradually adopted deep learning techniques to replace traditional modulated signal processing techniques. To address the problem of low recognition accuracy of the modulated signal at low signal-to-noise ratios, we have designed a novel modulation recognition network of multi-scale analysis with deep threshold noise elimination to recognize the actually collected modulated signals under a symmetric cross-entropy function of label smoothing. The network consists of a denoising encoder with deep adaptive threshold learning and a decoder with multi-scale feature fusion. The two modules are skip-connected to work together to improve the robustness of the overall network. Experimental results show that this method has better recognition accuracy at low signal-to-noise ratios than previous methods. The network demonstrates a flexible self-learning capability for different noise thresholds and the effectiveness of the designed feature fusion module in multi-scale feature acquisition for various modulation types.
