Abstract

Society today relies heavily on the exchange of information via wireless communication. Such communication provides the means of transferring information from point A to point B over the air. In order to accomplish this, a minimum of two devices is required: a transmitter and a receiver. Just as people must speak the same language in order to communicate, the receiver must know how the transmitter communicates in order to make sense of the data being transmitted. For multiple wireless communication system to coexist, they must each speak a unique language, which in the communications world is referred to as modulation. Modulation techniques have a broad spectrum of complexity. This work studies a set of techniques that allow a receiver to identify and adapt to a variety of modulation schemes so as to allow the receiver to eventually communicate with a wide variety of transmitters without know beforehand the languages they speak.
