Silicon-based complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process has become one of the most popular processes to realize system-on-chip (SoC). However, as one of the essential components of wireless SoC, antennas are typically suffering from the poor radiation because of the highly conductive silicon substrate. Such antennas are known as antenna-on-chip (AoC). To enhance the radiation performance of AoC, artificial magnetic conductors (AMC) with double periodic strip structure layers has been proposed in this paper that can not only provide in-phase reflection but also isolate the antenna from the lossy silicon substrate. The proposed AMC shows a gain enhancement of 4.5 dB. The AMC-backed AoC is well-matched within 77-125 GHz and provides a boresight gain of 2 dBi at 94 GHz.

The performance of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems severely degrades when multi-talker speech overlap occurs. In meeting environments, speech separation is typically performed to improve the robustness of ASR systems. Recently, location-based training (LBT) was proposed as a new training criterion for multi-channel talker-independent speaker separation. Assuming fixed array geometry, LBT outperforms widely-used permutation-invariant training in fully overlapped utterances and matched reverberant conditions. This paper extends LBT to conversational multi-channel speaker separation. We introduce multi-resolution LBT to estimate the complex spectrograms from low to high time and frequency resolutions. With multi-resolution LBT, convolutional kernels are assigned consistently based on speaker locations in physical space. Evaluation results show that multi-resolution LBT consistently outperforms other competitive methods on the recorded LibriCSS corpus.

Objective. This review paper provides an integrated perspective of Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) techniques applied to Brain-computer Interfaces (BCIs). BCIs use predictive models to interpret brain signals for various high-stake applications. However, achieving explainability in these complex models is challenging as it compromises accuracy. Trust in these models can be established by incorporating reasoning or causal relationships from domain experts. The field of XAI has emerged to address the need for explainability across various stakeholders, but there is a lack of an integrated perspective in XAI for BCI (XAI4BCI) literature. It is necessary to differentiate key concepts like explainability, interpretability, and understanding, often used interchangeably in this context, and formulate a comprehensive framework. Approach. To understand the need of XAI for BCI, we pose six key research questions (RQs) for a systematic review and meta-analysis, encompassing its purposes, applications, usability, and technical feasibility. We employ the PRISMA methodology – preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses to review (n=1246) and analyze (n=84) studies published in 2015 and onwards for key insights. Main results. The results highlight that current research primarily focuses on interpretability for developers and researchers, aiming to justify outcomes and enhance model performance. We discuss the unique approaches, advantages, and limitations of XAI4BCI from the literature. We draw insights from philosophy, psychology, and social sciences. We propose a design space for XAI4BCI, considering the evolving need to visualize and investigate predictive model outcomes customised for various stakeholders in the BCI development and deployment lifecycle. Significance. This paper is the first to focus solely on reviewing XAI4BCI research articles. This systematic review and meta-analysis findings with the proposed design space prompt important di

Quasi-isotropic antennas have gained attention due to the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensing Networks (WSNs), for their orientation-insensitive communication ability. For those applications, electrically small (ES) antennas are usually preferred, which can save space for the IoT or sensing nodes, while reducing the material cost. Several compact isotropic antennas have been reported recently. However, only very few of them have shown dual-band operation ability. A novel design method to design a dual-band quasi-isotropic ES antenna is presented in this conference proceeding. The utilization of a band stop filter (BSF) enables the conventional single-band quasi-isotropic split ring resonator (SRR) antenna to behave in a dual-band operation, while maintaining the quasi-isotropic radiation for both bands. The proposed antenna is designed, fabricated, and measured, which shows a dual-band operation (both bands in ka<1 region) while maintaining decent performance.
