We formulate an optimization problem to maximize the sum rate of communication users via hybrid beamforming design, subject to four constraints: the maximum Cramér-Rao bound constraint for sensing, the minimum harvested energy constraint for wireless power transfer, the base station's total transmit power constraint, and unit-modulus phase-shifter constraint on analog beamforming elements. The formulated problem is non-convex with highly coupled variables, posing significant optimization challenges. To address this, a two-stage optimization framework is proposed: The first stage optimizes the fully digital beamforming matrix to enhance algorithm performance, while the second stage decomposes the matrix into analog and digital components to achieve hybrid beamforming. Numerical simulations illustrate the influence of various constraint parameters on the sum rate and validate the effectiveness of the proposed two-stage optimization framework. Furthermore, numerical results show that by utilizing a certain number of radio frequency chains, the performance of the hybrid architecture can closely approximate that of the fully digital architecture. This hybrid architecture design enhances the economic viability of the system in practical applications.","PeriodicalId":50701,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electronics","volume":"35 5","pages":"1904-1916"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149188268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While deep learning models have achieved remarkable success under ideal conditions, their performance often degrades catastrophically when faced with real-world image corruptions. These corruptions span several key categories, including adverse weather (e.g., fog, rain, snow), challenging light (e.g., nighttime, low-light), digital artifacts from processing (e.g., compression, color jitter), various forms of blur (e.g., motion, defocus), and pervasive noise (e.g., sensor noise, speckle). This degradation poses a critical challenge, particularly in safety-sensitive domains like autonomous driving, medical imaging, and remote sensing. This survey provides a comprehensive and structured overview of the field of degraded image segmentation, offering a clearer understanding of overarching approaches compared to prior surveys that often focus solely on degradation types. We establish a detailed taxonomy of common image degradations impacting segmentation tasks. We review a wide array of datasets and benchmarks designed for evaluating robustness. Furthermore, we systematically analyze state-of-the-art methodologies, categorized by their core technical strategies: domain adaptation and generalization, joint restoration-segmentation techniques, multimodal fusion. In addition, we identify critical open challenges and discuss promising future research directions, aiming to synthesize current knowledge and stimulate targeted advancements towards more generalizable, adaptable, and reliable segmentation systems.

In order to break through the existing problems and bottlenecks, this paper designs a low-power, small-area RF energy harvesting and power management analog front-end chip, which can also meet the communication requirements of ultra-high frequency tags. The innovative on-chip auto-tuning technology is proposed, which significantly improves the impedance matching effect by dynamically matching the load impedance, so that the chip can realize high-efficiency energy harvesting in the 860 MHz-960 MHz frequency band. The low-voltage input voltage doubling rectifier circuit is designed to cope with complex and variable RF inputs and effectively improve the energy conversion efficiency. The sub-threshold reference circuit and low-power low-dropout regulator reduce power consumption and cost while ensuring chip performance.

A cascaded network model (CNM) is proposed to analyze and suppress periodic strong reflection points (SRPs) arising from impedance mismatches at bends in low-loss, high-isolation meander structures. By formulating the meander line as a cascaded network of transmission segments and discontinuities, the model establishes quantitative relationships among segment length, segment count, impedance mismatch, and the resulting broadband insertion loss and group delay behavior, providing clear physical insight into the formation and accumulation of SRPs. Guided by the proposed model, rectangular air-filled coaxial lines are employed, leveraging their excellent shielding capability and low crosstalk. Two strategies are implemented: bend geometry optimization and an unequal-length dual-spiral topology, to disperse reflection buildup. A prototype fabricated via wafer-level additive manufacturing demonstrates a voltage standing wave ratio below 1.72 and a group delay error under 5.6% across 1–110 GHz, with measured results showing close agreement with model predictions.

The proposed method employs neural networks to accurately model the nonlinear relationships among key design variables (switching frequency and the number of parallel-connected transistors) and performance metrics. Furthermore, it incorporates a PSO algorithm enhanced with a linearly decreasing inertia weight strategy and a Cauchy mutation mechanism to ensure robust exploration within the multi-objective solution space. Experimental results show that the proposed framework improves the average efficiency of switching power supplies by more than 4.5%, maintains the power transistor area within acceptable limits, suppresses output voltage ripple to below 15 mV, and reduces the overall optimization time to 0. 5 hours.

This paper presents an empirical model for 3.3 kV SiC MOSFETs that considers temperature effects. The model focuses on static and dynamic characteristics using non-segmented equations, ensuring smooth and accurate predictions of the device's output and transfer characteristics. Besides, temperature-dependent parameters are incorporated into the equations to correctly reflect the correlation between characteristics and temperature.For the capacitance model, the new compensation equation is added to the commonly used capacitance fitting equations, and the accuracy of this enhanced capacitance model is verified by fitting the capacitance experimental results of the device using the new capacitance equations. The body diode modeling adopts a combined approach of parameter extraction using the model editor and equation fitting. The adoption of non-segmented effectively avoids convergence problems inherent in traditional segmented models, while the integration of compensation equations brings simulation results closer to real operating conditions.

To solve the limited accuracy of conventional gm3 analysis in predicting the third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) performance under large dynamic range conditions, a large signal parameter <tex>$G_{mathrm{m}3}$</tex> is developed and analyzed that creates the anti-phase IMD3 current which can be flexibly controlled in both drive stage and power stage with deliberate biasing, enabling effective cancellation of IMD3 at across a large dynamic range. In addition, a shunt of resistive voltage divider was implemented to avoid multiple gate bias supplies. To demonstrate the proposed approach, a class-AB millimeter-wave power amplifier is implemented based on a 0.15 μm GaN-on-silicon carbide high electron mobility transistor technology. Under continuous-wave excitation at 20 V drain bias, the fabricated power amplifier (PA) demonstrates 40.5 dBm-40.9 dBm saturated output power over the 24 GHz-28 GHz frequency range, while the measured power-added efficiency (PAE) remains between 42.5% and 45.5%. Over a large output power back-off (OBO) range of 6 dB-25 dB, the PA achieves excellent linearity, with IMD3 better than −39 dBc. Additionally, at 4 dB OBO, the PA also achieves an IMD3 of −31 dBc and a PAE exceeding 24.5%. Owing to its excellent linearity, the proposed monolithic microwave integrated circuit, when tested with a 64-quadrature amplitude modulation signal featuring a 400 MHz modulation bandwidth and a 14 dB peak-to-average power ratio, provides 26 dBm of average output power. Under these operating conditions, it attains an error vector magnitude of 2.56% and an adjacent channel leakage ratio of −35.5 dBc without applying digital predistortion.

A key aspect of GSE is exact shortest distance search, which identifies the closest relation between nodes in an encrypted graph. However, even minimal leakage from updates and queries can be exploited by attackers to infer the database or query content. Current GSE schemes supporting exact shortest distance queries overlook the potential information leakage from frequent relationship changes, particularly edge deletions, which compromise data privacy. This paper introduces the concept of backward privacy in GSE and formalizes three types of backward privacy (type-I, type-II, and type-III), a novel contribution. We then propose two backward-private GSE schemes, Bayonet and Baccarat. Bayonet offers fine-grained control over data decryption with type-III backward privacy, while Baccarat enhances type-II backward privacy by delegating edge deletion to a non-collusive proxy. We provide formal security proofs for both schemes and evaluate their efficiency on ten real-world graph datasets. Experimental results show that Bayonet sacrifices server storage and computational overhead for type-III backward privacy, while Baccarat achieves higher security and matches the query efficiency of the state-of-the-art GSE scheme with only forward privacy, incurring minimal proxy storage and computational costs.","PeriodicalId":50701,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electronics","volume":"35 4","pages":"1741-1755"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11685251","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148909462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
