A synthetic moving-envelope metasurface antenna for independent control of arbitrary harmonic orders

Flexible frequency controls are crucial in many photonic and electronic applications, ranging from communications systems, spectroscopy, and metrology to quantum information processing. However, the state-of-the-art solutions based on nonlinear bulk media, electro-optic effect, and nonlinear metasurfaces incur very limited spectral controllability, and merely a couple of harmonic orders can be independently manipulated. Here, we theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate synthetic moving-envelope metasurface antennas capable of simultaneously generating arbitrary harmonic orders and independently manipulating their wave properties in a software-defined manner. As proof-of-principle examples, we demonstrate unidirectional frequency transition, frequency comb generation, arbitrary harmonic orders independent control, and their applications in frequency-division multiplexing communications. All these complicated functionalities are achieved by the 1-bit spatiotemporally ON-OFF switching of meta-atoms of the waveguide-integrated metasurface antenna. Our proposed synthetic metasurface antenna solution greatly expands the frontiers of wave engineering and information manipulation, showing promising potential in wireless communications, spectroscopy, metrology, and quantum science.

Multichannel highly secure wireless communication system with information camouflage capability.

Information metasurface has shown great potential in wireless communications owing to its ability to flexibly control electromagnetic waves. However, it is still a big challenge to achieve high-security and large-channel capacity wireless communications by a simple system. Here, we propose a space-polarization-division multiplexing secure wireless communication system with information camouflage capability based on the information metasurface, which can realize multichannel encrypted wireless communications with different polarization coding strategies independently and simultaneously. A polarization mask key is introduced to encrypt the target message, and the cipher message is further concealed behind a cover image with steganography and sent to the user by using the polarization modulation strategy. Different polarization mask keys can be adopted in each individual communication by changing the polarization coding strategy to enhance the system security. The proposed scheme integrates computational algorithm encryption and physical layer security together and thus has the advantages of high security, large channel capacity, and strong camouflage ability.

AI enabled wireless communications with real channel measurements: Channel feedback

Artificial intelligence (AI) has shown great potential in wireless communications. AI-empowered communication algorithms have beaten many traditional algorithms through simulations. However, the existing works just use the simulated datasets to train and test the algorithms, which can not represent the power of AI in practical communication systems. Therefore, Peng Cheng Laboratory holds an AI competition, National Artificial Intelligence Competition (NAIC): AI+wireless communications, in which one of the topics is AI-empowered channel feedback system design using practical measurements. In this paper, we give a baseline neural network design, QuanCsiNet, for this competition, and the details of the channel measurements. QuanCsiNet shows excellent performance on channel feedback and the complexity of the neural networks is also given.

Deep Learning Based Single Carrier Communications Over Time-Varying Underwater Acoustic Channel

In recent years, deep learning (DL) techniques have shown great potential in wireless communications. Unlike DL-based receivers for time-invariant or slow time-varying channels, we propose a new DL-based receiver for single carrier communication in time-varying underwater acoustic (UWA) channels. Without the off-line training, the proposed receiver alternately works with online training and test modes for accommodating the time variability of UWA channels. Simulation results show a better detection performance achieved by the proposed DL-based receiver and with a considerable reduction in training overhead compared to the traditional channel-estimate (CE)-based decision feedback equalizer (DFE) in simulation scenarios with a measured sound speed profile. The proposed receiver has also been tested by using the data recorded in an experiment in the South China Sea at a communication range of 8 km. The performance of the receiver is evaluated for various training overheads and noise levels. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed DL-based receiver can achieve error-free transmission for all 288 burst packets with lower training overhead compared to the traditional receiver with a CE-based DFE.

Wireless Networks Security in Jordan: A Field Study

The potential of wireless communications, has resulted in a wide expand of wireless networks. However, the vulnerabilities and threats that wireless networks are subjectedto resulted in higher risk for unauthorized users to access the computer networks.This research evaluates the deployed Wireless Network in Jordan as well as the use ofthe security setting of the systems and equipment used. Caution will be taken to avoid network access as only existence of the network is sought. Wardriving involve the use of freeware tools such as NetStumbler, or Kismet, which was originally developed to be used for helping network administrators make their systems moresecure. Thestudy is carried out through field evaluation of the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)in light of the use of Wardriving, and proposes some measures that can be taken to improve securityof the wireless network by the users.

Dr. C.J. de Groot and long-distance radio telegraphy between Indonesia and Holland

Reviews efforts to establish independent long-wavelength wireless links between Europe and the East Indies that would ultimately result in a new understanding of the long-distance potential of wireless communications. Radiotelegraphy appeared to be the only viable alternative to this crucial but undependable physical link. The ultimate goal, however, was a direct radiotelegraph link between The Netherlands and its overseas colony. This article describes the active role C. J. de Groot played in these experiments, eventually becoming the leader of this project. For these tests, three identical stations were erected on the isles of Timor, Ambon, and on the eastern part of Java, the main island of the Indonesian archipelago.
