    Abstract In this work, a 38.7 GHz acoustic wave ladder filter exhibiting insertion loss (IL) of 5.63 dB and 3-dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 17.6% is demonstrated, pushing the frequency limits of thin-film piezoelectric acoustic filter technology. The filter achieves operating frequency up to 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency range 2 (FR2) bands, by thinning thin-film LiNbO3 resonators to sub-50 nm thickness. The high electromechanical coupling (k2) and quality factor (Q) of first-order antisymmetric (A1) mode resonators in 128 Y-cut lithium niobate (LiNbO3) collectively enable the first acoustic filters at mmWave. The key design consideration of electromagnetic (EM) resonances in interdigitated transducers (IDT) is addressed and mitigated. These results indicate that thin-film piezoelectric resonators could be pushed to 5G FR2 bands. Further performance enhancement and frequency scaling calls for better resonator technologies and EM-acoustic filter co-design.

  • for: This paper aims to address the issue of model misspecifications in prior distributions and/or data distributions, and to develop a generalized Bayes’ rule to combat these uncertainties.
  • methods: The paper proposes an uncertainty-aware Bayes’ rule, which upweights or downweights prior beliefs and data evidence based on the relative importance of prior and data distributions. The paper also derives three uncertainty-aware filtering algorithms: the uncertainty-aware Kalman filter, the uncertainty-aware particle filter, and the uncertainty-aware interactive multiple model filter.
  • results: The paper presents simulated and real-world experiments that demonstrate the superiority of the uncertainty-aware Bayes’ rule and the three uncertainty-aware filtering algorithms over the conventional Bayes’ rule and other state-of-the-art methods.
    Abstract Bayes' rule has enabled innumerable powerful algorithms of statistical signal processing and statistical machine learning. However, when there exist model misspecifications in prior distributions and/or data distributions, the direct application of Bayes' rule is questionable. Philosophically, the key is to balance the relative importance of prior and data distributions when calculating posterior distributions: if prior (resp. data) distributions are overly conservative, we should upweight the prior belief (resp. data evidence); if prior (resp. data) distributions are overly opportunistic, we should downweight the prior belief (resp. data evidence). This paper derives a generalized Bayes' rule, called uncertainty-aware Bayes' rule, to technically realize the above philosophy, i.e., to combat the model uncertainties in prior distributions and/or data distributions. Simulated and real-world experiments showcase the superiority of the presented uncertainty-aware Bayes' rule over the conventional Bayes' rule: In particular, the uncertainty-aware Kalman filter, the uncertainty-aware particle filter, and the uncertainty-aware interactive multiple model filter are suggested and validated.
    摘要 贝叶斯公式在统计信号处理和统计机器学习中实现了无数可能的强大算法。然而,当存在模型偏差在先后分布和/或数据分布中时,直接应用贝叶斯公式是有问题的。哲学上,关键是在计算后期分布时平衡先后分布和数据分布之间的相对重要性:如果先前分布(resp. 数据分布)太保守,我们应该增加先前信念(resp. 数据证据)的重要性;如果先前分布(resp. 数据分布)太机会主义,我们应该减少先前信念(resp. 数据证据)的重要性。这篇论文提出一种扩展的贝叶斯公式,called uncertainty-aware Bayes' rule,以技术实现上述哲学。通过实验和实际应用,论文显示了 uncertainty-aware Bayes' rule 的超越性,比如不确定性感知 kalman filter、不确定性感知 particle filter 和不确定性感知多模型过滤器。

    Abstract Motor imagery EEG classification plays a crucial role in non-invasive Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) research. However, the classification is affected by the non-stationarity and individual variations of EEG signals. Simply pooling EEG data with different statistical distributions to train a classification model can severely degrade the generalization performance. To address this issue, the existing methods primarily focus on domain adaptation, which requires access to the target data during training. This is unrealistic in many EEG application scenarios. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-source domain generalization framework called EEG-DG, which leverages multiple source domains with different statistical distributions to build generalizable models on unseen target EEG data. We optimize both the marginal and conditional distributions to ensure the stability of the joint distribution across source domains and extend it to a multi-source domain generalization framework to achieve domain-invariant feature representation, thereby alleviating calibration efforts. Systematic experiments on a simulative dataset and BCI competition datasets IV-2a and IV-2b demonstrate the superiority of our proposed EEG-DG over state-of-the-art methods. Specifically, EEG-DG achieves an average classification accuracy/kappa value of 81.79%/0.7572 and 87.12%/0.7424 on datasets IV-2a and IV-2b, respectively, which even outperforms some domain adaptation methods.

    摘要 electromyography(EMG)幻象分类在无侵入式大脑-计算机交互(BCI)研究中扮演着关键性的角色。然而,分类受到EMG信号的非站点性和个体差异的影响。将EMG数据不同统计分布 pool 以train 分类模型可能导致极差的泛化性能。为解决这个问题,现有的方法主要集中在领域适应中,需要在训练过程中获取目标数据。这在许多EMG应用场景中是不现实的。在这篇论文中,我们提出了一种新的多源领域总结框架,称为EEG-DG,它利用不同统计分布的多个源领域来建立可靠的分类模型。我们同时优化了两个分布的独立和 Conditional distribution,以确保在源领域之间的联合分布的稳定性,并将其扩展为多源领域总结框架,以实现领域 invariant feature representation,从而减少准确化努力。系统性实验在一个模拟数据集和 BCIC 竞赛数据集 IV-2a 和 IV-2b 上表明,我们的提出的EEG-DG 超过了现有方法的性能。具体来说,EEG-DG 在 IV-2a 和 IV-2b 数据集上的平均分类精度/κ值为 81.79%/0.7572 和 87.12%/0.7424,甚至超过了一些领域适应方法。我们的代码可以免费下载和评估于 GitHub 上的

    Abstract In this paper, we study a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) beamforming design in an integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system, in which an ISAC base station (BS) is used to communicate with multiple downlink users and simultaneously the communication signals are reused for sensing multiple targets. Our interested sensing parameters are the angle and delay information of the targets, which can be used to locate these targets. Under this consideration, we first derive the Cram\'{e}r-Rao bound (CRB) for angle and delay estimation. Then, we optimize the transmit beamforming at the BS to minimize the CRB, subject to communication rate and power constraints. In particular, we obtain the optimal solution in closed-form in the case of single-target and single-user, and in the case of multi-target and multi-user scenario, the sparsity of the optimal solution is proven, leading to a reduction in computational complexity during optimization. The numerical results demonstrate that the optimized beamforming yields excellent positioning performance and effectively reduces the requirement for a large number of antennas at the BS.

    Abstract Internet of Things (IoT) sustainability may hinge on radio frequency wireless energy transfer (RF-WET). However, energy-efficient charging strategies are still needed, motivating our work. Specifically, this letter proposes a time division scheme to efficiently charge low-power devices in an IoT network. For this, a multi-antenna power beacon (PB) drives the devices' energy harvesting circuit to the highest power conversion efficiency point via energy beamforming, thus achieving minimum energy consumption.

    Abstract Mode division multiplexing (MDM) in optical fibers enables multichannel capabilities for various applications, including data transmission, quantum networks, imaging, and sensing. However, MDM optical fiber systems, usually necessities bulk-optics approaches for launching different orthogonal fiber modes into the multimode optical fiber, and multiple-input multiple-output digital electronic signal processing at the receiver side to undo the arbitrary mode scrambling in a circular-core optical fiber. Here we show that a high-dimensional optical fiber communication system can be entirely implemented by a reconfigurable integrated photonic processor, featuring kernels of multichannel mode multiplexing transmitter and all-optical descrambling receiver. High-speed and inter-chip communications involving six spatial- and polarization modes have been experimentally demonstrated with high efficiency and high-quality eye diagrams, despite the presence of random mode scrambling and polarization rotation in a circular-core few-mode fiber. The proposed photonic integration approach holds promising prospects for future space-division multiplexing applications.

The ISAC system features both uplink and downlink remote radio units (RRUs) equipped with communication and sensing capabilities.
