- Abstract: Modelling the propagation of electromagnetic signals is critical for designing modern communication systems. While there are precise simulators based on ray tracing, they do not lend themselves to solving inverse problems or the integration in an automated design loop. We propose to address these challenges through differentiable neural surrogates that exploit the geometric aspects of the problem. We first introduce the Wireless Geometric Algebra Transformer (Wi-GATr), a generic backbone architecture for simulating wireless propagation in a 3D environment. It uses versatile representations based on geometric algebra and is equivariant with respect to E(3), the symmetry group of the underlying physics. Second, we study two algorithmic approaches to signal prediction and inverse problems based on differentiable predictive modelling and diffusion models. We show how these let us predict received power, localize receivers, and reconstruct the 3D environment from the received signal. Finally, we introduce two large, geometry-focused datasets of wireless signal propagation in indoor scenes. In experiments, we show that our geometry-forward approach achieves higher-fidelity predictions with less data than various baselines.

Antenna array calibration is necessary to maintain the high fidelity of beam patterns across a wide range of advanced antenna systems.
We formulate antenna calibration in an alternative way, namely as a task of functional approximation, and address it via Bayesian machine learning.
Our contributions are three-fold. Firstly, we define a parameter space, that captures the underlying hardware impairments corresponding to each radiating element, their positional offsets, as well as the mutual coupling effects between antenna elements.
Once deployed, the learned non-parametric models effectively serve to continuously transform the beamforming weights of the system, resulting in corrected beam patterns.
