Abstract
In this paper, we propose an efficient automatic modulation classification (AMC) scheme for a group of narrowband and digitally modulated signals such as quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK), 16-PSK, 64-PSK, 4-quadratic-amplitude modulation (QAM), 16-QAM, and 64-QAM. The classification was performed by analyzing the probability density distribution for the real and imaginary parts of the modulated signals. To simplify the complexity of the proposed approach, we performed the classification in two stages: first, we classified the modulation between QAM and PSK signaling, and then, we determined the M-ary order of the modulation by developing kernel density estimation, which is typically used in nonparametric methods for the estimation of the probability density function of a random variable with finite data samples. Simulations were carried out to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme for flat channels. It is observed that this simple efficient technique can find applications in blind AMC, as the performance comparison with the state of the art is promising.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
