Abstract: Automatic modulation classification (AMC) serves a challenging yet crucial role in wireless communications. Despite deep learning-based approaches being widely used in signal processing, they are challenged by signal distribution variations, especially in various channel conditions. In this paper, we introduce an adversarial transfer framework named frequency-learning adversarial networks (FLANs) based on transfer learning for cross-scenario signal classification. This method uses the stability in the frequency spectrum by introducing a frequency adaptation (FA) technique to incorporate target channel information into source-domain signals. To address the unpredictable interference in the channel, a fitting channel adaptation (FCA) module is used to reduce the difference between the source and target domains caused by variations in the channel environment. Experimental results illustrate that FLANs outperforms state-of-the-art transfer approaches, demonstrating an improved top-1 classification accuracy by about 5.2 percentage points in high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) scenes on a cross-scenario real collected dataset CSRC2023.
