• Abstract: Neural nets are a powerful method for the classification of radio signals in the electromagnetic spectrum. These neural nets are often trained with synthetically generated data due to the lack of diverse and plentiful real RF data. However, it is often unclear how neural nets trained on synthetic data perform in real-world applications. This paper investigates the impact of different RF signal impairments (such as phase, frequency and sample rate offsets, receiver filters, noise and channel models) modeled in synthetic training data with respect to the real-world performance. For that purpose, this paper trains neural nets with various synthetic training datasets with different signal impairments. After training, the neural nets are evaluated against real-world RF data collected by a software defined radio receiver in the field. This approach reveals which modeled signal impairments should be included in carefully designed synthetic datasets. The investigated showcase example can classify RF signals into one of 20 different radio signal types from the shortwave bands. It achieves an accuracy of up to 95 % in real-world operation by using carefully designed synthetic training data only.

  Device-free wireless sensing has recently attracted significant interest due to its potential to support a wide range of immersive human-machine interactive applications. Data heterogeneity in wireless signals and data privacy regulation of distributed sensing have been considered as the major challenges that hinder the wide applications of wireless sensing in large area networking systems. We propose a novel zero-shot wireless sensing solution that allows models constructed in one or a limited number of locations to be directly transferred to other locations without any labeled data.

  We propose a framework of disentangled representation learning(DRL) that first learns to factor the input signals into a device-relevant component and a device-irrelevant component via adversarial learning. The implicit data augmentation in the proposed framework imposes a regularization on the RFF extractor to avoid the possible overfitting of device-irrelevant channel statistics. Experiments validate that the proposed approach, referred to as DR-RFF, outperforms conventional methods in terms of generalizability to unknown complicated propagation environments.

  We present a method for training neural networks with synthetic electrocardiograms that mimic signals produced by a wearable single lead electrocardiogram monitor. We use domain randomization where the synthetic signal properties such as the waveform shape, RR-intervals and noise are varied for every training example. Models trained with synthetic data are compared to their counterparts trained with real data. Experiments show robust performance with different seeds and training examples on different test sets without any test set specific tuning.

  Neural radiance fields (NeRF) methods have demonstrated impressive novel view synthesis. In this work we address a clear limitation of the vanilla coarse-to-fine approach -- that it is based on a performance and not trained end-to-end for the task at hand. We introduce a differentiable module that learns to propose samples and their importance for the fine network, and consider and compare multiple alternatives for its neural architecture.
