To tackle the challenge of intelligent recognition of complex radar jamming signals, we introduce the large-scale active radar jamming database (LARJD). This comprehensive database includes 19 distinct types of jamming signals and contains a total of 66500 time-series samples across five radar frequency bands, providing a robust dataset for radar jamming signal recognition. In parallel, we propose the multiclass time-series signal recognition network (MTSS-2DCNN), a deep learning architecture designed for classifying multiple types of time-series signals, including radar jamming signals. The MTSS-2DCNN architecture comprises three 2-D convolutional neural networks (2DCNNs), which extract features from both the time- and frequency-domain representations of the time-series data. By using a 2-D network structure to process 1-D signals, MTSS-2DCNN captures high-dimensional features from sequential signals while preserving the inherent characteristics of the temporal data. The model’s generalization capability is further enhanced through K-fold cross-validation and an adaptive learning rate adjustment strategy. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves an impressive accuracy of over 99.67% on the LARJD, with significantly shorter training times compared to existing approaches. Moreover, by pretraining radar jamming signal recognition models, ECM applications can substantially improve the efficiency of intelligent recognition systems in both engineering and military contexts.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 11","pages":"20051-20066"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144205905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the 3D-AFM has several disadvantages. First, the physical AFM tip occupies space and may sometimes obstruct the scanning process, creating distorted results, especially for vertical sidewalls. Additionally, the traditional AFM scanning scheme results in sparser data density along steep surfaces. In this work, to alleviate distortion, the AFM probe is allowed to rotate. Moreover, the scanning speed along the fast axis in a scan line has to be adaptive according to terrain variation. Therefore, we aim to develop and implement an intelligent AFM scanning process assisted by the proposed probe rotation decision (PRD) and adaptive speed decision (ASD) modules, enabling the AFM probe to achieve online rotation and variable scan speed. Moreover, methods for online coarse compensation and offline fine compensation are also presented to accurately eliminate tip shifts caused by probe rotation. Finally, some comparison results will be provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed intelligent scanning process.","PeriodicalId":449,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology","volume":"24 ","pages":"264-276"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144100085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The age-of-information (AoI) metric, representing the time elapsed since the last data received by a destination (e.g., base station) was generated at a sender, quantifies data freshness, which is crucial in diverse Internet of Things (IoT). Recent advancements have integrated heterogeneous sensors into IoT devices, with each sensor potentially sensing and generating status updates with different probabilities, impacting both AoI and energy consumption levels. This creates a complex challenge in balancing tradeoffs among various sensors’ sensing probabilities, AoI constraints, and energy efficiency. Yet, the AoI impact of IoT devices equipped with heterogeneous sensors using slotted ALOHA remains largely unexplored. This study investigates the AoI performance of IoT devices equipped with heterogeneous sensors within a slotted ALOHA framework. We present three data generation and transmission schemes: multisensor device with independent sensing (MSDIS), multisensor device with simultaneous sensing (MSDSS), and multisensor device with probabilistic simultaneous sensing (MSDPSS). We analyze and prove that MSDSS and MSDPSS achieve a lower average AoI (AAoI) compared with other schemes. Furthermore, we show that AAoI solutions for systems with at least five sensors per type cannot be expressed in radical form. Hence, we further design a low-time-complexity procedure for MSDPSS to determine optimal data sensing and generation probabilities that meet diverse AAoI requirements of various sensors while minimizing energy consumption. Our analysis, validated by simulations, indicates that MSDPSS demonstrates superior energy efficiency while meeting the diverse AAoI requirements of various sensors.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 11","pages":"20842-20853"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144196616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The electromagnetic module consists of a microstrip line loaded with a slot resonator, the sensitive element, transversely etched in the ground plane. To make the electromagnetic module conformal, a necessity for the intended application, the slot-loaded line has been implemented in a narrow (and hence flexible) low-loss microwave substrate. To adapt it to the circular shape of the metallic infrastructure, streetlights with different curvature shapes in the reported example cases, a conformal 3-D-printed piece of polylactic acid (PLA) has been fabricated. By sandwiching the electromagnetic module between such PLA piece and the surface of the streetlight subjected to corrosion control, perfect contact of it with the sensing element is achieved. The output variable of the sensor is the magnitude of the transmission coefficient of the slot-loaded line at a specific frequency (correlated with the level of corrosion of the surface) converted to a voltage by means of an envelope detector. The functionality of the proposed sensor is validated by means of a complete system, including the associated electronics.","PeriodicalId":447,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Sensors Journal","volume":"25 11","pages":"20455-20465"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144205860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"综合性期刊","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
