signaltyper
Signaltyper is a conceptual component in signal processing systems that identifies and tags the type of a signal as it passes through a processing chain. It can be implemented as software, hardware, or a combination, and serves to help downstream modules select appropriate algorithms.
Function and metadata: The core function is to classify characteristics such as signal modality (analog or
Implementation approaches: Traditional rule-based classifiers use explicit heuristics. More advanced implementations may employ machine learning or
Applications: In software-defined radios, signaltyper helps choose demodulators and filters; in test and measurement, it automates
Limitations and standards: Accuracy depends on signal quality and model coverage; misclassification can propagate errors. Interoperability
