Enhanced cognitive demodulation with artificial intelligence

Abstract

The low-cost ‘THz Torch’ wireless link technology is still in its infancy. Until very recently, inherent limitations with available hardware has resulted in a modest operational figure of merit performance (Range $$\times$$ × Bit Rate). However, a breakthrough was reported here by the authors, with the introduction of ‘Cognitive Demodulation’. This bypassed the thermal time constant constraints normally associated with both the thermal emitter and sensor; allowing step-change increases in both Range and Bit Rate with direct electronic modulation. This paper concentrates on advancements to the bit error rate (BER) performance. Here, separate techniques are introduced to the demodulation software that, when combined, result in enhanced Cognitive Demodulation. A factor of more than 100 improvement in BER was demonstrated within the laboratory and approximately a 60-fold improvement in a non-laboratory environment; both at the maximum Range and Bit Rate of 2 m and 125 bps, respectively, demonstrated recently. Moreover, demodulation speed is increased by almost a factor of 10,000; allowing for real-time demodulation while easing future computational hardware requirements. In addition to these software advancements, the paper demonstrates important improvements in hardware that has brought the technology out of the laboratory, with field trials being performed within an office corridor.

Remote Music Teaching Classroom Based on Machine Learning and 5G Network Station

“…A virtual learning environment has been used in a number of studies to examine learning communities and the knowledge connotations of learning models and educational apps in great detail [27]. A methodology for creating virtual learning communities that emphasizes the growth of members' knowledge construction was laid out in the literature as a starting point [28]. It then went on to explain the global and micro aspects of forming these communities and their traits [29].…”

Few-shot concealed object detection in sub-THz security images using improved pseudo-annotations

“…Inspired by another thermal-infrared application 23 – 25 , down-sampling thermal-infrared images share similar spatial features to (sub-)THz images that can be used for regularization 26 (i.e., preventing the classifier from overfitting) during the pre-training process. After obtaining these high-quality pseudo-annotations, we fine tune the object detector that is trained using the TFA framework.…”
