Abstract: The modulation classification of the non-cooperation underwater acoustic communication signals is extremely challenging due to channel transmission characteristics and low signal-to-noise ratio. The principal component analysis (PCA) is used to analyze the power spectra and square spectrum features of signals, which is capable of extracting the principal components associated with different modulated signals as input vector, thus reducing the feature dimension and suppressing the influence of noise. An artificial neural network (ANN) classifier is proposed for modulation recognition. The experimental modulation classification results obtained from field signals in 4 different underwater acoustic channels show that the proposed modulation recognition method has good classification performance.
