In dynamic and autonomous environments, receivers must extract the relevant signal from various modulated signals to enable further communication procedures. Machine learning, including its sub-branches for classification problems, offers promising operational capabilities. This study utilized the ResNet-50 deep learning method for modulation classification. A dataset consisting of eight digital modulation techniques was generated, with constellation diagrams created as image data over the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel at signal-to-noise ratios (SNR) of 5 dB, 10 dB, and 20 dB. The deep learning algorithm's performance metrics were evaluated using a confusion matrix, and F1 scores were compared to those of the AlexNet deep learning algorithm. The simulation results clearly indicate the superior performance of ResNet-50 over AlexNet. In terms of average F1 scores, ResNet-50 exhibits a significant advantage, surpassing AlexNet by approximately 67%, 29%, and 10% at SNR values of 5 dB, 10 dB, and 20 dB, respectively.en10.1016/j.phycom.2024.102285info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessModulation recognitionDeep learningConstellation diagramResNet-50ClassificationNetworksArticle632-s2.0-85182504603WOS:001165166000001Q2N/A
