Summary Research has shown that machine learning holds promise as a technique to improve the identification and classification of signals of interest. This study proposes the use of machine learning and generative adversarial networks (GANs) to classify received signals based on their down-converted (but not demodulated) in-phase and quadrature (I&Q) samples and evaluate their probability of being of interest. The approach will use a generative adversarial network (GAN) to train a discriminator neural network that will determine the likelihood that a received signal is of interest. The discriminator can then be used to identify signals of interest as they are received.
