Abstract:The classical maximum eigenvalue detection (MED) algorithm has excellent performance in detecting correlated signals. However, with the increasing signal dimensionality, the MED algorithm faces serious problems in the calculation efficiency and implementation of test statistic and decision threshold, thus greatly limiting the further application of the algorithm in modern cognitive communication systems. To this end, a low-implementation complexity MED algorithm based on a numerical analysis theoretical framework is proposed. The new algorithm uses the Rayleigh quotient accelerated power method to iteratively compute the test statistic, which has a fast convergence rate in detecting high-dimensional signals compared with the classical power method; meanwhile, different from the classical look-up table method, a threshold calculation method based on the cubic spline interpolation method is proposed, which can quickly determine the decision threshold corresponding to any given target false-alarm probability. The proposed MED algorithm effectively improves the computational efficiency and reduces the complexity of algorithm implementation while maintaining the detection performance of the original algorithm, which is particularly attractive for spectrum sensing problems in high-dimensional conditions. Finally, the simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Abstract:A terahertz fundamental up-conversion mixer with a high local oscillator (LO)/ radio frequency (RF) and local oscillator / intermediate frequency (IF) port isolation was presented, which was in the IHP 0.13μm SiGe BiCMOS process. The mixer adopted Gilbert’s double-balanced structure, local oscillator signal was transmitted through the Coplanar Waveguide (CPW) to suppress the transmission asymmetry caused by the strong parasitic coupling effect in the transmission process, which reduced the characteristic of LO/RF port isolation deterioration caused by the asymmetry. By adopting an asymmetric switch interconnection structure, the imbalance of the parasitic coupling of the local oscillator signal at the collectors of the switching transistors was reduced, and the cancellation efficiency of the local oscillator signal at the collectors of the switching transistors was improved. And the local oscillator signal was suppressed at the port of intermediate frequency by arranging the position of the transconductance transistors in a reasonable layout. The post-simulation results show that under the power supply voltage of 2.2V, the local oscillator signal is 230GHz and the intermediate frequency signal is 2-12GHz, when the up-conversion mixer works at 218-228GHz, the LO/RF port isolation is greater than 24dB, LO/IF port isolation is greater than 20dB, the conversion gain is -4dB to-3.4dB. The output 1dB compression point is -14.8dBm with an intermediate frequency signal is 10GHz. The DC power consumption is 42.4mW, the core area of the chip is 0.079mm2.

Abstract:Free space optical (FSO) communications offer high speed, low cost, and strong anti-interference ability. However, the atmospheric turbulence-induced fading causes deterioration in the performance of FSO communication systems. The conventional solution is to use RF links as parallel communication links to improve the system performance. On the other hand, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS) can be employed to further improve the received signal-to-noise ratio of the RF link due to its advantages of low loss, easy deployment, and no complex coding and decoding. In this paper, an RIS-assisted hybrid RF-FSO transmission system is proposed to improve the communication quality of service. Based on this hybrid model, exact expressions for the outage probability, average BER, and channel capacity are derived, and Monte-Carlo simulations are presented to verify the accuracy of the analytical results. Results show that the performance of the proposed system is significantly improved compared to the conventional hybrid RF-FSO system.

Abstract:The mechanism for asymmetric transmission is an important issue for enhanced sensing, amplification and asymmetric control of elastic waves. Parity-Time symmetric systems may provide a simple solution. The concept of Parity-Time symmetric systems comes from quantum mechanics, and one of its characteristics is unidirectional reflectionlessness. A PT symmetric beam for flexural waves is designed, which is based on piezoelectric shunting technology. Firstly, the PT symmetric condition is derived. Then, based on the effective medium method and finite element simulation, it is verified that the effective parameters of gain and loss unit meet the PT symmetric condition. The tunability of exception points is studied by changing the resonant frequency and the shunting resistance. Finally, the scattering property of the PT sym-metric beam is derived by transfer matrix method and finite element simulation, and the relationship between exceptional points and unidirectional non-reflection is illustrated. The calculated and simulated results show that the PT symmetric beam has several exceptional points including 511Hz and 520.5Hz. When the incident flexural waves of 511Hz is applied at the right side of the PT symmetric beam, the reflection coefficient is close to zero. However, when the frequency of the incident flexural waves changes to 520.5Hz, it should be applied on the left side of the PT symmetric beam in order to gain a total transmission without reflecting. The structure of the proposed PT symmetric beam is simple and the exceptional points of it are tunable, which can be used to achieve better asymmetric transmission of flexural wave.

Abstract:Affected by suspended particles such as haze in the atmosphere,images taken outdoors often suffer from low contrast and low visibility. Existing dehazing methods fail to make full use of the local feature information of the image, and cannot fully extract the global details of the image. Therefore, there are problems such as incomplete dehazing and loss of image details. For this reason, this paper proposes a T-shaped image dehazing network based on wavelet transform and attention mechanism. Specifically, the proposed network obtains the edge detail features of the hazy image by performing multiple discrete wavelet decomposition and reconstruction on the image, and proposes a feature attention module that takes into account both the global feature and the local information extraction of the image, which strengthens the network"s learning in image visual perception and detail texture. Secondly, in the process of feature extraction, a T-shaped method is proposed to obtain multi-scale image features, which expands the network"s representation ability. Finally, perform color balance on the reconstructed clear image to obtain the final restored image. A large number of experimental results in synthetic data sets and real data sets show that the network proposed in this paper has superior performance compared with other existing network models.

Abstract:This paper proposes a state-sensitive event-triggered H∞ control strategy to solve the problem of unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) path tracking control under communication restriction. Firstly, the corresponding path tracking control model is established according to the dynamics of the connected vehicle. Secondly, a novel state-sensitive event-triggered communication (SS-ETC) strategy according to the state perception of path tracking in real time is proposed. Then, an event-triggered H∞ controller is designed by combining with time delay system modeling method and Lyapunov stability theory. The proposed dynamic event-triggered communication strategy based on state perception can dynamically adjust the communication threshold according to the state measurements of the control system, and effectively realize the adaptive co-design of UGV communication and control. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed dynamic event-triggered control strategy is verified by simulation experiments.

Abstract:Although MIMO technology can improve the utilization rate of spectrum, multi-dimensional signal processing brings great challenges to the detection of MIMO signals. Based on the analysis of various MIMO detection algorithms, QR decomposition is selected as the research object, which is a kind of nonlinear algorithm. In order to obtain higher performance of detection, the sorted QR decomposition is further studied and propose the sorting scheme based on L1-norm. Using Matlab for performance simulation, the L1-norm sorting strategy and the L2-nrom sorting strategy have basically the same impact on MIMO system, but the L1-norm sorting strategy reduces the computational complexity. On this basis, the hardware structure of improved sorted QR decomposition by Givens rotation on FPGA is proposed. Comparing with the solution of L2-norm, the L1-norm strategy reduces at least 29.2% combinational logic resources and 32.4% register resources when calculating a single column norm in the realization of 4×4 channel matrix decomposition. Comparing with similar designs, the frequency of operating clock has been significantly improved.

Abstract:With the development and application of communication networks, the Internet of Things carries the safe transmission and storage of a large amount of sensitive information. Since devices are usually small in size and resource-constrained, complex security primitives are not suitable for authentication of lightweight IoT devices. This paper proposes a lightweight anonymous key shared authentication protocol for IoT devices, which generates a shared key by the physical unclonable function(PUF) and uses security primitives such as the MASK algorithm and the Hash function. The security analysis and verification are accomplished by Ban logic and ProVerif to prove that the protocol ensures security attributes such as anonymity, non-repudiation, and forward/backward confidentiality. Compared with other protocols, this protocol has the characteristics of low computing cost, small communication overhead and storage capacity, and high security performance, which is suitable for the secure communication transmission of resource-constrained devices.
