To solve the problem of signal aliasing after sampling in software defined radio (SDR ) , an improved phase-adjusted filtering algorithm is proposed. Based on the second-order RF bandpass sampling front-end with adjustable time delay,an anti-aliasing filter that supports multi-segment filtering is designed, and multiple frequency segments can be flexibly set according to the actual needs,so as to achieve accurate filtering for different frequency bands. Through the simulation verification in MATLAB SIMULINK, the method has better suppression performance than similar filters(38 dB or more) ,and can effectively filter out the required signal without affecting the integrity of other signals,which simplifies the receiving front-end,has strong flexibility and adaptability, and can better support future communication technology and high-density communication connections.
Vehicular edge computing(VEC) converges the computing resources of cloud servers to the edge of the network closer to the vehicle side, allowing vehicles to offload vehicular computing tasks to the network edge servers,thus providing vehicles with low latency,high bandwidth and high reliability services. However,the highly dynamic network topology,strict low-delay constraints,and massive data of vehicular tasks of VEC pose significant challenges for implementing efficient offloading. The digital twin(DT)-driven VEC model can enable real-time monitoring of the state of the VEC network,thus assisting in making sound offloading decisions in the physical world. Firstly, the research progress of edge computing, available vehicles and DT-driven VEC task offloading methods are introduced. Then,the scenario architecture of DT-driven task offloading for VEC is elaborated. Finally,the future research challenges and solutions of DT-driven VEC task offloading methods are discussed,in hope of providing certain guidance for solving the problem of DT-driven VEC task offloading.
Multi-dimensional telemetry data pattern mining holds significant importance for satellite status monitoring. However, the sheer volume of telemetry parameters and data poses a challenge in obtaining precise solutions within a short timeframe. To address this issue,the authors propose a matrix profile-based pattern mining approach that employs stochastic principles to search for approximate solutions,which can serve as surrogates for precise solutions within an acceptable error margin. Firstly, spectral analysis is performed on the multi-dimensional telemetry data to determine the template length based on the characteristic frequencies of the patterns. Subsequently,the Mueen's algorithm for similarity search(MASS) is iteratively applied in a stochastic manner to compute elements within the distance matrix. A crucial step involves zeroing out elements near the main diagonal to form the multi-dimensional distance matrix. Finally, the minimum values are extracted from each column to generate the multi-dimensional distance matrix profile(MDMP ) . On this profile, the locations of the maximum and minimum values correspond to the identified rare and frequent patterns, respectively. Experimental analysis indicates that when processing three-dimensional telemetry data containing 150000 sampling points, the proposed method, at a 1% mining depth,is able to constrain the positional error between the approximate and precise solutions within 400 sampling points.
In satellite-to-ground communication,during the process of P-band signal crossing the atmosphere to reach the ground array,its direction of arrival(DOA) and polarization angle are changed by ionosphere effects. Therefore,there is an error between the estimated values obtained by the existing DOA-polarization estimation algorithm and the real values. In order to solve the problem,corrections are made from the aspects of DOA and polarization angle. Firstly, considering the ionospheric refraction effect, a signal propagation model of ionosphere is established,based on which a correction method for pitch angle error is proposed. Secondly,regarding the Faraday rotation(FR) effect of ionosphere,the influence of Faraday rotation angle (FRA) on signal polarization is analyzed,and two estimation methods of FRA based on scattering matrix are proposed according to the process of ground target scattering. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methods can accurately calculate the correction value of pitch angle and FRA of P-band signal. Under certain conditions,the pitch angle estimation accuracy is improved by about 0.1°,and the FRA estimation accuracy is improved by nearly 1°,so the correction of DOA and polarization angle is realized.
In satellite communication systems operating in dynamic interference environments,the quality of channels and the interference power vary. Limited spectrum resources and complex interference environments pose challenges for anti-interference communication decisions, particularly in terms of resource allocation and service demands. Specifically, the challenge lies in efficiently utilizing resources while avoiding interference frequencies and optimizing power. To address this issue,a deep reinforcement learning-based anti-interference algorithm with multiple reward functions is proposed. The algorithm models the interaction between the transmitter,receiver,and interferer as a Markov decision process. By optimizing the reward function associated with the costs of channel and power switching,it introduces mechanisms for both frequency and power switching,analyzes the interference characteristics in the spectrum of adjacent time slots, and integrates the interference signal features collected during the interaction with channel information to train an anti-interference strategy. This strategy enables joint anti-interference decision-making in both the frequency and power domains. Simulation results demonstrate that the algorithm effectively reduces the probability of interference,accelerates convergence,and optimizes the utilization of power resources.
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast IN(ADS-B IN) applications can provide numerous conveniences for pilots during flight operations, with safety being the prerequisite for realizing the advantages of ADS-B IN applications. A Bow-tie model-based safety assessment method is introduced to address potential safety issues associated with ADS-B IN applications in actual flight activities. By analyzing pre-defined hazards,the maximum acceptable probability of hazard occurrence is determined,which in turn leads to the derivation of safety requirements such as the failure rate of ADS-B equipment or the integrity of communication data links necessary to achieve this probability. Based on the explanation of this method,a specific implementation case is presented to further illustrate its application.
To address the issue of synthetic aperture radar(SAR) images being susceptible to environmental noise,which leads to a reduction in the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) at target locations,a method integrating singular value decomposition (SVD) and minimum entropy deconvolution (MED) to enhance the Back Projection(BP ) algorithm is proposed. Initially,the acquired echo signals undergo SVD, and a singular value matrix is obtained. By retaining only the first five singular values and reconstructing the echo signal matrix,an initial noise reduction is achieved. Subsequently,the signals are processed using MED filtering, where filter coefficients are iteratively updated to minimize the entropy of the signal,thereby reducing the kurtosis of the output signal and suppressing noise. A Zero-Phase Filter(ZPF) is then applied to restore any phase delays. Finally, the SAR image is generated using the BP algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate that this method significantly enhances the SNR at target locations,with improvements of 7.9 dB and 9.1 dB for large and small corner reflectors,respectively.
Object detection technology aims to locate and identify specific category targets in images or videos. However,in low-illumination scenarios,problems such as low contrast,blurred boundaries,and noise interference,result in the decline of detection performance. To address this,a Color Channel Transformation Enhancement-based Object Detection (C2TEOD ) algorithm is proposed. Firstly,a color channel transformation module is constructed,and learnable parameters are introduced to transform different color channels,enhancing the flexibility of the enhancement strategy. Then,an image enhancement module is employed to preprocess the input images. This module is jointly optimized with the object detection network using detection loss functions,thereby enabling the enhancement module to learn to generate representations that explicitly facilitate the subsequent detection task. Additionally,a selective self-supervised regression loss is proposed that uses both the original low-illumination images and the enhanced images as inputs to optimize the detection network. According to detection results,the enhancement module is further optimized through self-supervised regression to improve detection performance. Experimental results show that,compared with the baseline method,the mean average precision(mAP) metrics on the Exdark,M3FD,and LLVIP datasets are improved by 2.2%,1.1%,and 0.2% respectively.
The traditional antenna array wideband signal synthesis performance evaluation method has the problem of low signal synthesis performance evaluation accuracy due to the limited accuracy of the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) estimation algorithm in the wideband and low SNR scenarios. For above problem, a wideband signal synthesis performance evaluation method of antenna array using power calculation is proposed. The method first simulates multiple intermediate frequency(IF) signals, applies time and phase delays to simulate the time delay and phase difference of the actual antenna received signals, and adds noise to each signal to simulate a low SNR environment. Then, the original and delayed signals are synchronously compensated until convergence using the antenna grouping algorithm to be evaluated. Finally, the synthesized power of the original signal after compensation is calculated and compared with the synthesized power of the ideal signal to obtain the synthesis loss. Simulation experiments results show that under the conditions of signal bandwidth of 250~500 MHz and SNR of -20~0 dB, the method has an improvement of about 1 dB in evaluation accuracy and 0.1 dB2 in evaluation stability compared with the wideband signal synthesis performance evaluation method based on SNR, and the improvement effect is more significant with the decrease of signal bandwidth, and the improvement effect is more significant with the decrease of signal bandwidth.
Deep learning (DL) is an effective method for achieving automatic modulation identification (AMI) technology. However,DL methods generally struggle to balance recognition accuracy and efficiency simultaneously. To address this,a lightweight AMI method based on enhanced multi-scale feature fusion is proposed. First,a lightweight multi-scale feature fusion module is designed,which efficiently extracts multi-scale features of modulation signals through a cross-scale convolutional structure,enhancing the model's ability to represent different signal features. Next,an adaptive feature enhancement module is constructed,combining depthwise separable convolution and attention mechanisms to adaptively learn channel weights of key features,highlighting important signal features while reducing interference from irrelevant ones. Finally,a differential balance classifier is designed to focus on recognizing subtle modulation patterns,enabling efficient classification. Experimental results show that the proposed method improves recognition accuracy by an average of 5.91%,reduces the number of parameters by approximately 8.5×105,and decreases iteration time per sample by 0.0624 seconds. Compared with the advanced models,it achieves higher accuracy,faster speed,and fewer parameters.
