6G通信与高带宽雷达的快速发展带来了信号源空间密度的空前增长,导致电磁环境日益拥挤。现有架构受限于二维物理孔径的固有衍射极限,在分辨密集信号与干扰时面临瓶颈。本文提出三维孔径工程衍射神经网络(AE-DNN),通过构建深层级联超表面层,将传统二维孔径拓展为三维,实现斜入射电磁波的分层调控与分段编码,使感知能力远超物理孔径限制。N层AE-DNN可实现约N倍于二维衍射极限的角分辨率。通过多维合成孔径(MSA)训练,实现光速相干合成三维孔径,并融合神经网络对多维超表面调制的建模。通过模拟域正交化阵列响应向量,AE-DNN并行完成超分辨角度估计、源数估计与源分离,最多支持10个独立相干或非相干源。实验在36-41 GHz频段验证:可实现~20 dB的多干扰抑制,通信容量提升13.5倍,延迟降低三个数量级。该工作标志着先进雷达与6G通信信号处理范式的变革。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The rapid progress in 6G communication and high-bandwidth radar has driven an unprecedented surge in the spatial density of signal sources, resulting in an increasingly congested electromagnetic (EM) environment. When resolving closely spaced signals and interference, existing architectures are strictly bounded by the inherent diffraction limits of two-dimensional (2D) physical apertures, hindering super-resolution sensing and multi-interference mitigation in complex scenarios. Here, we present a 3D aperture-engineered diffractive neural network (AE-DNN) that achieves super-resolution sensing and computing by extending the traditional 2D aperture into 3D. The 3D aperture engineering framework is realized by constructing deep cascaded metasurface layers so that the diffractive propagation from oblique incident fields can be layer-wise modulated and piecewise encoded for perceiving EM fields far exceeding physical aperture limits. The N-layer AE-DNN has the capability to achieve ~N times higher angular resolution than the 2D aperture diffraction limit. The multi-dimensional synthetic aperture (MSA) training is developed to achieve speed-of-light coherent synthesis of the 3D aperture and integrate neural network-based modeling of multi-dimensional metasurface modulation. By orthogonalizing array response vectors in the analog domain, AE-DNN performs parallel super-resolution angle estimation, source number estimation, and source separation for up to 10 independent coherent or incoherent sources. Experimental results across the 36-41 GHz band demonstrate that AE-DNN resolves and suppresses closely spaced multi-interference by ~20 dB, enhances communication capacity by 13.5X, and reduces latency by three orders of magnitude. AE-DNN heralds a paradigm shift in signal processing for advanced radar and 6G communications.
