Channel Distortion

Transmitter Radio Channel
RF Receiver Equalizer Decision Maker
An adaptive filter (lower figure) is used to eliminate the multiple channel distortion in wireless communication. A distorted 16-QAM signal (left figure) is blindly equalized to give a correct output (right figure) before recognition process
Channel Distortion

Method 1:
Center Frequency Offset Correction
The unwanted phase rotation (left figure) is corrected adaptively (right figure) by a modified blind carrier phase tracker (upper figure) so that the feature variation methods can be used robustly for modulation recognition
Method 2: CFO = angle( Σ(yky*k-1)fs/2/π k = 1, 2, �, N
yk is a sample at k fs is the sampling frequency

Summary
hThere are many publications but most of them are related to base band symbol recognition
hCenter frequency offset (CFO), pulse shape, timing, and channel fading can be estimated but the estimates will not be perfect
hSignal type UNKNOWN should be defined in all algorithms
hA good modulation recognition algorithm should be robust to CFO, timing error, and fading
