基于CNN特征的宽频段智能测向方法

当前电磁环境日益复杂,利用机器学习方法实现快速且精确的宽频段无线电测向逐渐成为研究的热点。使用卷积神经网络基于端到端的方式完成宽频段测向的方法能够在一定程度上解决宽频段相位模糊的问题,但卷积运算后特征维数大大增加,稀疏的特征影响了最后一层全连接前馈神经网络的分类效果。针对这一问题,提出将无线电测向分为特征学习任务和方向预测任务,使用卷积神经网络作为特征提取器,将通过多层卷积运算得到的结果视为二次提取的特征,作为方向预测任务的输入;针对二次提取特征的稀疏性,提出使用主成分分析算法对特征进行降维,并将稀疏性降低后的特征作为后续分类器的输入。此外,针对特征的特点,探索了几种分类模型作为分类器的效果,包括决策树、随机森林、径向基函数神经网络和K-近邻。实验结果表明,使用主成分分析算法对特征进行降维能够提升训练和测试效率;采用K-近邻构成分类器的准确度明显高于原卷积神经网络的准确度;若需要兼顾准确度和测向效率,采用随机森林构成分类器的效果最好。

A novel algorithm of multi-sensor image fusion based on wavelet packet transform

In order to enhance the image information from multi-sensor and to improve the abilities of the information analysis and the feature extraction, this letter proposed a new fusion approach in pixel level by means of the Wavelet Packet Transform （WPT）. The WPT is able to decompose an image into low frequency band and high frequency band in higher scale. It offers a more precise method for image analysis than Wavelet Transform （WT）. Firstly, the proposed approach employs HIS （Hue, Intensity, Saturation） transform to obtain the intensity component of CBERS （China-Brazil Earth Resource Satellite） multi-spectral image. Then WPT transform is employed to decompose the intensity component and SPOT （Systeme Pour I＇Observation de la Therre ） image into low frequency band and high frequency band in three levels. Next, two high frequency coefficients and low frequency coefficients of the images are combined by linear weighting strategies. Finally, the fused image is obtained with inverse WPT and inverse HIS. The results show the new approach can fuse details of input image successfully, and thereby can obtain a more satisfactory result than that of HM （Histogram Matched）-based fusion algorithm and WT-based fusion approach.     

Donor–acceptor copolymers incorporating polybenzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene and tetrazine for high open circuit voltage polymer solar cells

Two new low band gap conjugated polymers containing a benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b′]dithiophene donor unit and a tetrazine acceptor unit were synthesized by Stille cross-coupling polymerization. The structural and thermal properties of copolymers were characterized using nuclear magnetic resonance, gel permeation chromatography and thermogravimetric analysis. The results show that the donor–acceptor copolymers thus developed have good thermal stability with decomposition temperature of 294 °C and 305 °C. Cyclic voltammetric study revealed that the copolymers possess a deep-lying highest occupied molecular orbital energy level, which is desired for high open circuit voltage polymer solar cells (PSCs) and is also favorable for stable device operation in air. Bulk-heterojunction PSCs based on blend of low band gap copolymers: [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester on indium tin oxide/glass substrates were fabricated. This work yielded a promising power conversion efficiency of >5.0%, with a high open circuit voltage of ～1.0 V, measured under air mass 1.5 global irradiation of 100 mW/cm².

A novel broadband circularly polarised monopole antenna

A novel broadband circularly polarised (CP) monopole antenna is designed and implemented in this article. The antenna consists of a radiating patch that is composed of an annular-ring linked by a square ring over the corner and a modified ground plane. The broadband property is achieved based on a novel monopole structure that is connected by two perturbed loops, so the CP wave is generated due to the perturbation. Besides, by cutting a rectangular slit and embedding a vertical stub on the ground plane, the impedance and axial-ratio (AR) bandwidths can be greatly enhanced. The measured results reveal that the proposed monopole antenna has an impedance bandwidth of 4.575 GHz from 2.3 to 6.85 GHz, reaching the particularly broad bandwidth of 99.5%. Furthermore, a wide 3-dB AR bandwidth of 34.6% (1.53 GHz, 3.65–5.18 GHz) centred at 4.42 GHz is achieved. The radiation characteristics of the designed antenna are also presented.     

Nanowire-Based Soft Wearable Human–Machine Interfaces for Future Virtual and Augmented Reality Applications

A virtual world has now become a reality as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technology become commercially available. Similar to how humans interact with the physical world, AR and VR systems rely on human–machine interface (HMI) sensors to interact with the virtual world. Currently, this is achieved via state of-the-art wearable visual and auditory tools that are rigid, bulky, and burdensome, thereby causing discomfort during practical application. To this end, a skin sensory interface has the potential to serve as the next-generation AR/VR technology because skin-like wearable sensors have advantages in that they can be ultrathin, ultra-soft, conformal, and imperceptible, which provides the ultimate comfort and immersive experience for users. In this progress report, nanowire-based soft wearable HMI sensors including acoustic, strain, pressure sensors, and physiological sensors are reviewed that may be adopted as skin sensory inputs in future AR/VR systems. Further, nanowire-based soft contact lenses, haptic force, and thermal and vibration actuators are covered as potential means of feedback for future AR/VR systems. Considering the possible effects of the virtual world on human health, skin-like wearable artery pulses, glucose, and lactate sensors are also described, which may enable imperceptible health monitoring during future AR/VR practices.     

Photonic Vitrimer Elastomer with Self-Healing,High Toughness,Mechanochromism, and Excellent Durability based on Dynamic Covalent Bond

Vitrimers, with their unique dynamic covalent bonds, possess attractive self-healability and mechanical robustness, providing an intriguing opportunity to construct functional soft materials. However, their potential for function recovery, especially optical function, is underexplored. Harnessing the synergistic effect of photonic crystals and vitrimers, a novel photonic vitrimer with light regulating and self-healing capabilities is presented. The resulting photonic vitrimer exhibits a large tensile strain (>1000%), high toughness (21.2 kJ m⁻³), bright structural color, and mechanochromism. Notably, the structural color remains constant even after 10 000 stretching/releasing cycles, showing superior mechanical stability, creep-resistance, and excellent durability. More importantly, the exchange of dynamic covalent bonds imparts the photonic vitrimer with a self-healing ability (>95% efficiency), enabling the recovery of its optical function. Benefiting from the above merits, the photonic vitrimer has been successfully used as a sensor for human motion detection, which demonstrates visualized interactive sensibility even after self-repairing. This material design provides a general strategy for optical functionalization of vitrimers. The photonic vitrimer elastomers present great potential as resilient functional soft materials for diverse flexible devices and a novel optical platform for soft robotics, smart wearable devices, and human-machine interaction.     

Anatase (101) Reconstructed Surface with Novel Functionalities: Desired Bandgap for Visible Light Absorption and High Chemical Reactivity

Unreconstructed surfaces of anatase TiO₂ are known to have two main limitations for their application as photocatalysts, namely, low efficiency for sun‐light absorption due to the wide bandgap, and low chemical reactivity. Strategies to overcoming the two limitations and to enhancing TiO₂'s photocatalytic efficiency have been highly sought. To this end, a global search of anatase reconstructed surfaces is performed based on the evolutionary method. It is found that the newly predicted anatase (101) reconstructed surface possesses a desired bandgap whose value is within the energy domain of visible light as well as notably high chemical reactivity compared to the unreconstructed anatase (101) surface. In particular, it is predicted that under Ti‐richness condition, the anatase (101) reconstructed surface is energetically very stable. The anatase (101) reconstructed surface exhibits similar topmost surface structure as the unreconstructed anatase (101) surface but different subsurface structure. Not only the fivefold coordinated Ti atoms (Ti_5c) in the topmost surface layer but also the sixfold coordinated Ti atoms in the subsurface layer contribute to the desirable gap states. The high chemical reactivity of anatase (101) reconstructed surface can be attributed to the extra electrons drawn by the surface Ti_5c atoms and subsurface Ti_6c atoms.     

A Type of 1 nm Molybdenum Carbide Confined within Carbon Nanomesh as Highly Efficient Bifunctional Electrocatalyst

Highly efficient platinum‐alternative bifunctional catalysts by using abundant non‐noble metal species are of critical importance to the future sustainable energy reserves. Unfortunately, current electrocatalysts toward hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are far from satisfactory because of lacking reasonable design and assembly protocols. A type of 1‐nm molybdenum carbide nanoparticles confined in mesh‐like nitrogen‐doped carbon (Mo₂C@NC nanomesh) with high specific surface area is reported here. In addition to the superior ORR performance comparable to platinum, the catalyst offers a high HER activity with small Tafel slope of 33.7 mV dec^?1 and low overpotential of 36 mV to reach ?10 mA cm^?2. Theoretical calculations indicate that the active sites of the catalyst are mainly located at Mo atoms adjacent to the N‐doped carbon layer, which contributes the high HER activity. These findings show the great potential of Mo₂C species in wide electrocatalysis applications.
