Automatic signal type identification (ASTI) is an important topic for both the
civilian and military domains. Most of the proposed identifiers can only recognize a few
types of digital signal and usually need high levels of SNRs. This paper presents a new high
efficient technique that includes a variety of digital signal types. In this technique, a
combination of higher order moments and higher order cumulants (up to eighth) are
proposed as the effective features. A hierarchical support vector machine based structure is
proposed as the classifier. In order to improve the performance of identifier, a genetic
algorithm is used for parameters selection of the classifier. Simulation results show that the
proposed technique is able to identify the different types of digital signal (e.g. QAM128,
ASK8, and V29) with high accuracy even at low SNRs.
