Ultra-Short Wave Communication Squelch Algorithm Based on Deep Neural Network by Yuanxin Xiang, Yi Lv, Wenqiang Lei, Jiancheng Lv

“…We simulate the algorithm in three situations: the typical Amplitude Modulation (AM) and Frequency Modulation (FM) in the ultra-short wave communication under different SNR environments, the non-stationary burst-like noise environments, and the real received signal of the ultra-short wave radio. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm performs better than the traditional squelch methods in all the simulations and experiments. …”
