• Abstract summary: We propose a new method for testing antenna arrays that records the radiating electromagnetic (EM) field using an absorbing material. We are able to reconstruct normal sequences through our trained model and compare it to the real sequences observed by a thermal camera. A contour-based anomaly detector can then map the reconstruction error matrix to an anomaly score to identify faulty antenna arrays.

• Abstract: We propose a new method for testing antenna arrays that records the radiating electromagnetic (EM) field using an absorbing material and evaluating the resulting thermal image series through an AI using a conditional encoder-decoder model. Given the power and phase of the signals fed into each array element, we are able to reconstruct normal sequences through our trained model and compare it to the real sequences observed by a thermal camera. These thermograms only contain low-level patterns such as blobs of various shapes. A contour-based anomaly detector can then map the reconstruction error matrix to an anomaly score to identify faulty antenna arrays and increase the classification F-measure (F-M) by up to 46%. We show our approach on the time series thermograms collected by our antenna testing system. Conventionally, a variational autoencoder (VAE) learning observation noise may yield better results than a VAE with a constant noise assumption. However, we demonstrate that this is not the case for anomaly detection on such low-level patterns for two reasons. First, the baseline metric reconstruction probability, which incorporates the learned observation noise, fails to differentiate anomalous patterns. Second, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of a VAE with a lower observation noise assumption achieves 11.83% higher than that of a VAE with learned noise.

• Residual ANODE [0.0]
  We present R-ANODE, a new method for data-driven, model-agnostic resonant anomaly detection. The key to R-ANODE is to enhance the inductive bias of the anomaly detection task by fitting a normalizing flow directly to the small and unknown signal component. We show that the method works equally well whether the unknown signal fraction is learned or fixed, and is even robust to signal fraction misspecification.
