Firstly, the Shannon entropy, index entropy and norm entropy of the signals are extracted. Secondly, using these entropy features and integrated cloud models to get improved entropy cloud features. Finally, extreme learning machine based on particle swarm optimization and principal component analysis (PSO-ELM-PCA) is applied to signal recognition. The results of simulations show that the approach in this paper still has a good classification result at dynamic SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio).","PeriodicalId":443426,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE USNC-CNC-URSI North American Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116326592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DORT (French acronym for Decomposition of the Time Reversal Operator) allows for separation of multiple targets in multistatic detection. Pulse inversion (PI) has recently been used together with DORT to allow nonlinear scatterers to be discriminated from linear scatterers. In this paper, the resulting technique, PI-DORT, is augmented with a time-of-flight algorithm to improve the robustness of target location in a complex multi-target environment involving linear and nonlinear targets. The proposed method presents an integrated approach that combines PI-DORT and radar time-of-flight principles to localize individual targets with significantly reduced computational time.","PeriodicalId":443426,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE USNC-CNC-URSI North American Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121800223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The antenna is a button shape Roger substrate (a: 25mm) using a radiator on the top side of a disc, which enhances the users’ comfort and makes it a small size up to date in the literature. Besides, the button is placed on the top side of substrates (Roger, Denim-black) and a conductive ground (copper). Moreover, a superstrate substrate (felt) is used on the top side of a radiator. The main characteristic is showed in three types of radiation patterns, a monopole type in the 2.4538-2.587 GHz for On-body and a broadside in the 5.038-6.03 GHz for off-body communications. Next, the high performance is obtained concerning the gain, bandwidth, and radiation patterns during On-Off body communication, simultaneously. Besides, the lowest specific absorption rate (SAR) is obtained in different bands. Simulated and measurement results are found well. Finally, the effect of the human body is validated using the human hand (hantenna) as an antenna.","PeriodicalId":443426,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE USNC-CNC-URSI North American Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121858061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ground measurements of trees were taken in a NASA site at a Natural Virginia pine forest at Goddard Geophysical and Astronomical Observatory. The canopy parameters were obtained from destructive sampling. The electrical characteristics of the branches and needles were measured. The exact 3-D vector radiative transport theory has been developed to compute the attenuation produced by a pine forest containing random located branches and needles. The branches and the needles are modeled as lossy-dielectric cylinders with prescribed orientation statistics. Results will show the importance of knowing the electrical and biophysical parameters of the forest to be able to predict with more certainty the attenuation of a coniferous forest.","PeriodicalId":443426,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE USNC-CNC-URSI North American Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125264149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pure data-driven machine learning methods have achieved great success in the past few years, but these methods still face questions about reliability. At the same time, extremely massive data without any physical guidance may lead to missing opportunities for breakthroughs. In this paper, we propose a physics-driven deep learning framework for providing a fast and accurate surrogate to solve non-linear inverse problems. Particularly, leveraged by the forward physical model and 1D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), the proposed method provides more reliable solutions to the inverse problem with improved performance. Applications for magnetotelluric data inversion demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.","PeriodicalId":443426,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE USNC-CNC-URSI North American Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130442815","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The concept of cell-to-cell communication via electromagnetic signaling has been recently postulated. It is shown that certain bacteria within their biofilms are equipped with antennas allowing them to transmit and receive signals to their neighboring cells and surrounding environment. Here, using communication channel modeling, we examine the maximum channel capacity and its variation as a function of distance based on both concepts and show EM signaling outperforms quorum sensing so far as data rate and communication distance are concerned. Fick's diffusion equation is combined with information theory fundamental equations for channel modeling of quorum sensing and Shannon channel capacity theorem is applied to EM-based communication channel for estimating the channel capacity. Results indicate that the EM-based communication provides much higher channel capacity compared to the quorum sensing.","PeriodicalId":443426,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE USNC-CNC-URSI North American Radio Science Meeting (Joint with AP-S Symposium)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130766946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The multiple stations can reliably verify astrophysical events by simultaneous detection. Adding the fifth station at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, MI, provides a wider range of declination coverage for the project.
