In the classic wiretap model, Alice wishes to reliably communicate to Bob without being overheard by Eve who is eavesdropping over a degraded channel. Systems for achieving that physical layer security often rely on an error correction code whose rate is below the Shannon capacity of Alice and Bob's channel, so Bob can reliably decode, but above Alice and Eve's, so Eve cannot reliably decode. For the finite block length regime, several metrics have been proposed to characterise information leakage. Here we reassess a metric, the success exponent, and demonstrate it can be operationalized through the use of Guessing Random Additive Noise Decoding (GRAND) to compromise the physical-layer security of any moderate length code. Success exponents are the natural beyond-capacity analogue of error exponents that characterise the probability that a maximum likelihood decoding is correct when the code-rate is above Shannon capacity, which is exponentially decaying in the code-length. In the finite blocklength regime, success exponents can be used to approximately evaluate the frequency with which Eve's decoding is correct in beyond-capacity channel conditions. Through the use of GRAND, we demonstrate that Eve can constrain her decoding procedure through a query-number threshold so that when she does identify a decoding, it is correct with high likelihood, significantly compromising Alice and Bob's communication by truthfully revealing a proportion of it. We provide general mathematical expressions for the determination of success exponents in channels that can have temporally correlated noise as well as for the evaluation of Eve's query number threshold, using the binary symmetric channel as a worked example. As GRAND algorithms are code-book agnostic and can decode any code structure, we provide empirical results for Random Linear Codes as exemplars. Simulation results mimic the mathematical predictions, demonstrating the practical possibility of compromising physical layer

In this work, we develop a multipath-based simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) method that can directly be applied to received radio signals. In existing multipath-based SLAM approaches, a channel estimator is used as a preprocessing stage that reduces data flow and computational complexity by extracting features related to multipath components (MPCs). We aim to avoid any preprocessing stage that may lead to a loss of relevant information. The presented method relies on a new statistical model for the data generation process of the received radio signal that can be represented by a factor graph. This factor graph is the starting point for the development of an efficient belief propagation (BP) method for multipath-based SLAM that directly uses received radio signals as measurements. Simulation results in a realistic scenario with a single-input single-output (SISO) channel demonstrate that the proposed direct method for radio-based SLAM outperforms state-of-the-art methods that rely on a channel estimator.

Future generations of electrified aircraft, such as more electric aircraft (MEA) and all-electric aircraft (AEA), will require high-power-delivery and low-system-mass electric power systems (EPS). Designing aircraft cables confronts thermal challenges due to the limited heat transfer by convection at a cruising altitude of 12.2 km (18.8 kPa) for wide-body aircraft. These thermal challenges are exacerbated by implementing bipolar MVDC EPSs which are formed of two adjacent power cables, conventionally. In this regard, coaxial geometry for cables can be evaluated as a solution to this problem. In this paper, a coaxial MVDC power cable is, for the first time, designed with inner and outer conductors carrying the same ampacity of 1000 A when the voltage of the inner and outer conductors is −5 kV and +5 kV, respectively. This design compares the effectiveness of coaxial power cables to the conventional arrangement of bipolar MVDC cable systems. This study will analyze three case studies to determine if a coaxial geometry is better than a conventional arrangement for a bipolar MVDC cable system or not. According to the findings of this study, coaxial cable requires thicker insulation and more conductors to maintain the same maximum electric field norm within cable insulation and ampacity. As a result, coaxial cables result in a greater mass and cross-sectional area than standard bipolar cables. For the envisaged AEA, the investigation in this paper addresses questions about the performance of coaxial geometry for bipolar MVDC power cables.

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is of significance in the field of marine monitoring. SAR collects reflection imaging of marine ship targets to radar beams and records a variety of information such as radiation phase, vibration frequency, and reflection intensity of the target area. Due to the complex sea surface environment, traditional vision methods cannot effectively identify weak ship targets. Deep learning methods, especially two-stage detectors, e.g. Oriented Region Convolution Neural Network (R-CNN) have given solutions to address such challenges, which have shown certain advantages when facing the problem of complex ocean scenes and weak ship targets. However, the presence of a large amount of coherent noise and speckle noise in SAR images makes the two-stage deep learning model approach still deficient in SAR image processing tasks, which leads to the degradation of typical model detection accuracy. In this paper, an enhanced Oriented R-CNN detector, namely ORS-Net, is proposed to balance between high efficiency and high performance, by augmenting both the backbone network and feature fusion network, and employing various optimization strategies in the training and inference stages. To improve the model’s ability to extract feature information from SAR image ship targets, two backbone feature extraction network structures are optimized and improved. One is Dilated ResNet improved based on dilated convolution, and the other is Deep Swin-Transformer based on unstructured model tuning. In addition, the FPN structure is extended by embedding dilated convolution modules in the feature fusion network to ensure efficient feature fusion. Finally, the model is optimized in various aspects during the training and inference phases to further improve its performance. It is experimentally demonstrated that ORS-NET achieves 53.79 mAP, which is better than the current mainstream general-purpose rotating object detectors. ORS-Net can perform the SAR image ship object detec

A two-tier multivariate-kriging interpolation method is proposed as a computationally efficient approach to model hafnia-based FeFET devices. We investigate how well this data-driven approach captures device-to-device variabilities when applied to realistic datasets sampled from a physics-based compact model with artificial variance. The framework provides methods for future analysis of experimental data, as well as selection of device operating conditions with the aim of unveiling FeFET strengths and weaknesses and optimizing these synaptic devices for neuromorphic circuit integration.
