ADS-B networks for air traffic monitoring have been implemented worldwide, but ground stations cannot be installed in oceanic regions, leaving these areas uncovered. A solution for tracking aircraft over the ocean is through the monitoring of ADS-B signals by using spaceborne receivers. The Royal Military College of Canada has developed an ADS-B receiver that is scheduled to fly as a technology demonstrator on the Canadian Advanced Nanospace eXperiment-7 (CanX-7) nanosatellite. The payload will collect ADS-B data over the North Atlantic that will be compared to truth data provided by air traffic services. A potential issue for the CanX-7 payload is signal collisions. The extended footprint of the satellite coverage means that a large number of aircraft may be in view at any one time, leading to ADS-B messages that arrive simultaneously at the receiver not being decoded. A simulation of CanX-7 passage over the operations area was carried out to calculate the probability of signal collisions. Using the Aloha Protocol, it was determined that the loss of information as a result of signal collisions is well within the standards of ground based radars used by air traffic system agencies.展开更多

The Royal Military College of Canada has developed an ADS-B receiver that is scheduled to fly as a technology demonstrator on the Canadian Advanced Nanospace eXperiment-7 (CanX-7) nanosatellite. A signal propagation model was developed to determine the power level and number of signals that will be detected by CanX-7. Since the ADS-B messages are alternately transmitted from upper and lower antennas, both the direct and reflected signals were considered. A simulation using the model was run over the North Atlantic with aircraft data supplied by air traffic services and a satellite altitude of 800 km. Power at the receiver for reflected ADS-B signals ranged from -109.5 to -118 dBm depending on aircraft-satellite geometry and was approximately 18 dBm less than the direct path signal strength. With a sensitivity of -103 dBm, the CanX-7 ADS-B receiver should detect virtually all of the direct path signals while reflected signals are below the detection threshold. Although the reflected signals should not be a factor for the CanX-7 mission, they could be a consideration for a large operational satellite with a more sensitive receiver. The reception of both direct and reflected ADS-B signals from multiple aircraft could lead to signal collisions and subsequent loss of aircraft tracking information, particularly in coastal regions where there are additional sources of the 1090 MHz signal.展开更多

However, since Rydberg atomic receivers are nonlinear systems, mismatches between the parameters of the received amplitude modulation(AM) signals and the system's linear workspace and demodulation operating points can cause severe distortion in the demodulated signals. To address this, the article proposes a method for determining the operational parameters based on the mean square error(MSE) and total harmonic distortion(THD) assessments and presents strategies for optimizing the system's operational parameters focusing on linear response characteristics(LRC) and linear dynamic range(LDR). Specifically, we employ a method that minimizes the MSE to define the system's linear workspace, thereby ensuring the system has a good LRC while maximizing the LDR. To ensure that the signal always operates within the linear workspace, an appropriate carrier amplitude is set as the demodulation operating point. By calculating the THD at different operating points, the LRC performance within different regions of the linear workspace is evaluated, and corresponding optimization strategies based on the range of signal strengths are proposed. Moreover, to more accurately restore the baseband signal, we establish a mapping relationship between the carrier Rabi frequency and the transmitted power of the probe light, and optimize the slope of the linear demodulation function to reduce the MSE to less than 0.8×10^(-4). Finally, based on these methods for determining the operational parameters, we explore the effects of different laser Rabi frequencies on the system performance, and provide optimization recommendations. This research provides robust support for the design of high-performance Rydberg atom-based AM receivers.展开更多

文摘The geodetic detrending(GD)methodology was introduced in the past decade and has opened the door to the global monitoring of ionospheric scintillation using global navigation satellite system(GNSS)receivers.The performance of GD has been demonstrated in geodetic receivers.However,extending scintillation monitoring to low-cost commercial receivers remains a challenge.Low-cost devices could serve as valuable complements to specialised and much more expensive scintillation monitoring receivers.In this paper,first,a feasibility study was conducted using the GD technique,demonstrating that the scintillation indices derived from the observations of two lowcost receivers(Septentrio Mosaic X5 and UBLOX ZED-F9P)have a resolution similar to that achieved by geodetic receiver models,whose price is one order of magnitude higher.Second,measurements of GNSS signals at different frequencies from the Galileo and global positioning system(GPS)satellites were analysed in a specific experiment over six days of null scintillation.Next,the noise level in the scintillation parameters derived from the experiment was evaluated,which shows that for low-cost receivers,the minimum scintillation detection threshold increases only negligibly compared to geodetic-grade receivers.Moreover,the geometry-free(GF)combination of L1 with a second signal of different frequency was investigated as an alternative to detrending GNSS signals.Finally,for determining the ionospheric fluctuations produced by scintillation,the limitations of using the GF combination versus the uncombined measurements were highlighted.It is concluded that the minimum resolution of scintillation indices derived from low-cost receiver measurements makes it possible to distinguish values associated with periods of scintillation activity from those produced by residual noise from mismodeling.For both geodetic and low-cost receivers,the scintillation detection threshold obtained with uncombined carrier-phase measurements is smaller than that achieved with the classic GF combination.

文摘The increasing demand for high throughput and low latency in Wi-Fi 7 necessitates a robust receiver design.Traditional receiver architectures,which rely on a cascade of complex,independent signal processing modules,often face performance bottlenecks.Rather than focusing on semantic-level tasks or simplified Additive White Gaussian Noise(AWGN)channels,this paper investigates a bit-level end-toend receiver for a practical Wi-Fi 7 Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(MIMO-OFDM)physical layer.A lightweight Transformer-based encoder-only architecture is proposed to directly map synchronized OFDM signals to decoded bit⁃streams,replacing the conventional channel estimation,equalization,and data detection.By leveraging the multi-head self-attention mecha⁃nism of the Transformer encoder,our model effectively captures long-range spatial–temporal dependencies across antennas and subcarriers,thus learning to compensate for channel distortions without explicit channel state information.This mechanism eliminates the need for ex⁃plicit channel estimation,enabling the direct extraction of crucial channel and signal features.Experimental results validate the efficacy of the proposed design,demonstrating the significant potential of deep learning for future wireless receiver architectures.

文摘The Rydberg atom-based receiver, as a novel type of antenna, demonstrates broad application prospects in the field of microwave communications. However, since Rydberg atomic receivers are nonlinear systems, mismatches between the parameters of the received amplitude modulation(AM) signals and the system's linear workspace and demodulation operating points can cause severe distortion in the demodulated signals. To address this, the article proposes a method for determining the operational parameters based on the mean square error(MSE) and total harmonic distortion(THD) assessments and presents strategies for optimizing the system's operational parameters focusing on linear response characteristics(LRC) and linear dynamic range(LDR). Specifically, we employ a method that minimizes the MSE to define the system's linear workspace, thereby ensuring the system has a good LRC while maximizing the LDR. To ensure that the signal always operates within the linear workspace, an appropriate carrier amplitude is set as the demodulation operating point. By calculating the THD at different operating points, the LRC performance within different regions of the linear workspace is evaluated, and corresponding optimization strategies based on the range of signal strengths are proposed. Moreover, to more accurately restore the baseband signal, we establish a mapping relationship between the carrier Rabi frequency and the transmitted power of the probe light, and optimize the slope of the linear demodulation function to reduce the MSE to less than 0.8×10^(-4). Finally, based on these methods for determining the operational parameters, we explore the effects of different laser Rabi frequencies on the system performance, and provide optimization recommendations. This research provides robust support for the design of high-performance Rydberg atom-based AM receivers.
文摘In this paper,an interference cancellation based neural receiver for superimposed pilot(SIP)in multi-layer transmission is proposed,where the data and pilot are non-orthogonally superimposed in the same time-frequency resource.Specifically,to deal with the intra-layer and inter-layer interference of SIP under multi-layer transmission,the interference cancellation with superimposed symbol aided channel estimation is leveraged in the neural receiver,accompanied by the pre-design of pilot code-division orthogonal mechanism at transmitter.In addition,to address the complexity issue for inter-vendor collaboration and the generalization problem in practical deployments,respectively,this paper also provides a fixed SIP(F-SIP)design based on constant pilot power ratio and scalable mechanisms for different modulation and coding schemes(MCSs)and transmission layers.Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed schemes on the performance of block error rate and throughput compared with existing counterparts.

文摘In this paper,we investigate a distributed multi-input multi-output and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(MIMO-OFDM) dual-functional radar-communication(DFRC) system,which enables simultaneous communication and sensing in different subcarrier sets.To obtain the best tradeoff between communication and sensing performance,we first derive Cramer-Rao Bound(CRB) of targets in detection area,and then maximize the transmission rate by jointly optimizing the power/subcarriers allocation and the selection of radar receivers under the constraints of detection performance and total transmit power.To tackle the non-convex mixed integer programming problem,we decompose the original problem into a semidefinite programming(SDP) problem and a convex quadratic integer problem and solve them iteratively.The numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm,as well as the performance improvement brought by optimizing radar receivers selection.

文摘As a novel signaling technology,the power splitting receiver(PSR)simultaneously employs both the coherent and non-coherent signal processing.In order to improve its communication performance,an intelligent reflecting surface(IRS)is introduced into its signal propagation path.Consequently,an IRSaided PSR is concerned for a point-to-point(P2P)data link,where both the single-antenna and multiantenna deployments on the receiver are discussed.We aim at maximizing the capacity of the concerned P2P data-link by jointly optimizing the passive beamforming of IRS and the splitting ratio of PSR,either in single-antenna or multi-antenna case.However,owing to the coupling of multiple variables,the optimization problems are non-convex and challenging,especially in the later multi-antenna case.The proposed alternating-approximating algorithm(A-A),aided by semi-definite relaxation(SDR)and successive convex approximation(SCA)methods,etc.,successfully overcomes these challenges.We compare the IRS-aided PSR system that optimized by our proposed algorithm to the systems without IRS or PSR,and the systems without joint optimization.The simulation results show that our proposal has a better performance.

文摘Based on the observational data from 60 short-period stations deployed in the Jishishan M6.2 earthquake epicenter and adjacent regions(Gansu Province,2023),this study inverted the near-surface S-wave velocity structure through teleseismic receiver function analysis by using the amplitude of direct P-wave.The results reveal that the epicentral area(Liugou Township and surroundings)exhibits markedly low S-wave velocities of 400-600 m/s,with a mean value of(500±50)m/s.In contrast,intermountain basins-Guanting Basin and Dahejia Basin-demonstrate significantly elevated velocities,exceeding the epicentral zone by 100-300 m/s,with values concentrated at 600-900 m/s.Notably,localized areas such as Jintian Village and Caotan Village maintain stable S-wave velocities of(700±30)m/s.The western margin tectonic belt of Jishishan displays distinctive velocity differentiation:A pronounced velocity gradient zone along the 35.8°N latitude boundary separates northern areas(<550 m/s)from southern regions(>750 m/s).These findings demonstrate significant spatial heterogeneity in shallow S-wave velocity structures,primarily controlled by three factors:(1)topographic-geomorphic units,(2)stratigraphic lithological contrasts,and(3)anthropogenic modifications.The persistent low-velocity anomalies(<600 m/s)in the epicentral zone and northern Yellow River T2 terrace likely correlate with Quaternary unconsolidated sediments,enhanced groundwater circulation,and bedrock weathering.These results provide critical geophysical constraints for understanding both the seismogenic environment of the Jishishan earthquake and its damage distribution patterns.Furthermore,they establish a foundational framework for regional seismic intensity evaluation,site amplification analysis,and secondary hazard risk assessment.

文摘The Cathaysia block in Southeast China has undergone complex compression,collision and tectonic evolution processes,which have led to the formation of rich granites and polymetallic ores.However,its history of crustal evolution and metallogenic mechanisms remain unclear.To explore the deep geodynamic processes in the central Cathaysia block,we deployed a dense broadband seismic array with a station interval of~5 km from July 2017 to August 2020.This seismic array,composed of 80 portable stations,traverses the Nanling and Wuyi metallogenic belts and crosses four deep faults.We employ the teleseismic receiver-function method to estimate the crustal thickness and vP/vS ratio beneath the seismic array.Our results reveal a distinct negative correlation between the crustal thickness and the vP/vS ratio within the crust,which might be closely associated with crustal deformation.The average crustal thickness is~30 km,indicating that the crust was thinned under an extensional environment.However,the crust beneath the Wuyi belt is slightly thicker and has a lower vP/vS ratio than its adjacent areas,which may reflect thickening of the upper crust due to its ductility and lithospheric delamination.

文摘Increasing the number of atoms that interact with microwave fields represents a promising strategy for enhancing the sensitivity of Rydberg atom-based superheterodyne receivers.Nevertheless,the practical implementation of this approach is impeded by adverse effects such as excitation saturation of Rydberg atoms and power broadening.Here,we demonstrate enhanced microwave field measurements based on two specific velocity groups of atoms,simultaneously addressed by dual-channel probe beams in a Sagnac loop interferometer.The application of resonance detuning in two-photon excitation enables selective addressing of atoms moving along the beam direction,thereby significantly mitigating atomic transit noise.At 7.97 GHz,our method yields a 3 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),achieving a sensitivity of 10.7 nV·cm^(−1)·Hz^(−1/2).This approach offers a viable pathway to further improve the sensitivity of Rydberg atom-based microwave electrometers.
