Based on the modified path loss (PL) exponent model, the vertical RSS fingerprints can self-transfer to the tilted RSS fingerprints of arbitrary receiving direction (RD) in the online stage. The constructed tilted RSS fingerprint databsae have the same granularity and dimension as the vertical RSS fingerprint database, making the proposed method have the capability of rapid learning and positioning while completing RSS fingerprint self-transfer. The simulation results show that the proposed method achieves a higher positioning accuracy compared to the other three methods without adding the labor and time costs of RSS measurement caused by the multidimensionality of the RD at each fingerprint point.

By introducing the optical frequency-modulated continuous-wave technique inspired by radar, the measurement system can perform real-time 3D displacement measurements using only a single laser source.

Utilizing mathematical principles of non-ambiguous measurement, the system achieves high-precision static signal measurements and real-time dynamic signal tracking. Limited by the modulation bandwidth of modulator, the system attains a detection range from 0 to 30 GHz. Leveraging the electro-optic comb’s flexibility, optical comb repetition rates can be tailored to receiver bandwidths. The dynamic range of microwave signal power is from -30 dBm to -10 dBm. In instantaneous frequency measurement of dynamic signal, error-free measurement can be achieved at a resolution of 1 MHz.

Using a static magnetic field as a tuning “knob,” we can control the magnitude and sign of the group refractive index by changing the magnitude or direction of the magnetic field, enabling the transition of a light pulse from ultraslow to ultrafast propagation. In addition, the required switching times from slow to fast light propagation are also presented. In particular, the results are applied in a room-temperature medium under the influence of the Doppler effect, which makes the model close to the realistic experiments.
