Context A radio signal consists in two channels, channel I (for 'In phase') and channel Q (for 'Quadrature') and can be assimilated as a stream of complex numbers. It may convey information by coding it as a sequence of symbols sampled from a finite set of complex numbers called a "modulation". There exist several standard modulations such as (non exhaustive list): BPSK, QAM, QPSK of order N, PSK of order N… In general modulation is not directly observable from a signal. The goal of this dataset is to detect the underlying modulation of a radio signal which may have suffer various alterations during its transmission. This task is of interest for instance for sensing the electromagnetic environment in the cognitive radio paradigm. This dataset is made available in the context of the paper: T. Courtat and H. du Mas des Bourboux, "A light neural network for modulation detection under impairments," 2021 International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC), 2021, pp. 1-7, doi: 10.1109/ISNCC52172.2021.9615851.
