While recent approaches employing neural networks-such as convolutional neural networks and graph convolutional networks (GCNs)-offer improved computational speed, they often suffer from limitations in prediction accuracy and structural adaptability. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a multi-scale GCN-based method for rapid thermal field prediction. The proposed approach constructs graph structures by treating each pixel in the input maps as a node and dynamically aggregates node features across adjacency relationships defined at multiple spatial scales (scale 1, 2, and 3). This multi-scale, dynamic aggregation mechanism enables capturing thermal propagation patterns effectively at varying spatial resolutions. The network consists of a multi-scale encoder and a GCN-based decoder, trained with Softplus activation and dropout regularization. A simple linear iterative clustering-augmented power/material-discontinuity adaptive partition is developed to enhance boundary fidelity with fewer nodes, at a modest runtime cost. Furthermore, using a dataset we developed comprising over 200 chiplet configurations with diverse and flexible power-material layouts, the proposed method achieves a temperature prediction mean error within 0.68 °C. This approach delivers both high accuracy and computational efficiency, offering a viable solution for thermal-aware modeling and rapid optimization in complex multi-chip systems.","PeriodicalId":50701,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electronics","volume":"35 4","pages":"1589-1598"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11685237","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148909444","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}

However, additional privacy protection measures, such as per-example gradient clipping, introduces extra computational overhead and storage requirements, which impede the exploration of differentially private deep learning methods. To address this challenge, we propose a novel differentially private low-rank weight fusion approach. Our approach utilizes a model weight composed of a shared weight and low-rank weights. The rank of the low-rank weights determines the number of sub-networks involved in the fusion process. During the training phase, we fix the shared weight and solely train the low-rank weights. After each training batch, we add noise to safeguard the privacy of the low-rank weight fusion operation, thereby achieving privacy-preserving training. This approach significantly reduces storage overhead and eliminates the need for per-example gradient computations. Additionally, the low-rank weight can be applied as a plug-in, particularly in transfer learning scenarios. We evaluate the knowledge transfer capability of our method and conduct experiments in both self-learning and transfer learning scenarios. Our results demonstrate that our approach achieves comparable accuracy to the batchensemble method without introducing additional noise.","PeriodicalId":50701,"journal":{"name":"Chinese Journal of Electronics","volume":"35 4","pages":"1756-1764"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2026-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11685249","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148909463","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}

Fabricated using Gallium Arsenide enhancement- and depletion-mode pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor (GaAs E/D pHEMT) technology, the chip integrates several key components including three single-pole-double-throw (SPDT) switches, three drive amplifiers, a 6-bit digital phase shifter, a 6-bit digital attenuator, two equalizers and a 12-bit level shift circuit. Notably, the design incorporates a spiral quadrature hybrid and reflection-type phase shifter, which ensures superior phase-shifting performance. Both amplifiers utilize a parallel feedback architecture to achieve a positive gain slope across the operating frequency range, effectively mitigating low-frequency gain challenges. Test results demonstrate that the chip delivers a receiving/transmitting gain greater than 14 dB, with a positive gain slope exceeding 3 dB. The 6-bit phase shifter exhibits a root-mean-square (RMS) phase error of less than 3°, while the 6-bit attenuator has an RMS amplitude error below 0.5 dB. The entire circuit is integrated into a compact area of 5 mm × 5 mm, with a direct current power consumption of 0.65 W.

Although vector fitting is an excellent macro-modeling method, it typically requires users to manually specify the fitting order, which determines the accuracy. In this paper, a universal automatic pole determination method is proposed for vector fitting to achieve accurate macromodeling for single-input/multiple-output systems.

The distribution characteristics of point clouds on a vehicle surface are analyzed and described by normal vector histogram features. Considering the characteristics of vehicle surfaces, a vehicle measurement model consisting of four rectangles is proposed. Combined with the Kullback-Leibler divergence measure, the fitting degree between the point cloud clusters and a measurement model can be obtained, and the position and attitude of a candidate vehicle can be determined. With the estimated pose information, vehicle motion characteristics are utilized to determine the candidate vehicles.
