用数据驱动方法分离射频信号,显著降低误码率。

The Radio-Frequency Transformer for Signal Separation

  • 基于改进的SoundStream tokenizer和Transformer架构,端到端训练
  • 在MIT RF挑战数据集上实现122倍误码率降低
  • 无需干扰类型信息,可零样本泛化到未知混合信号

我们研究信号分离问题:估计被未知非高斯背景/干扰污染的目标信号(SOI)。给定包含目标信号与干扰的训练数据,我们提出一种完全数据驱动的信号分离方法。通过学习目标信号的良好离散分词器,并在交叉熵损失下训练端到端Transformer,性能显著优于传统的均方误差(MSE)方法。该分词器基于Google的SoundStream,引入额外Transformer层,将VQVAE替换为有限标量量化(FSQ)。在MIT RF挑战数据集的真实与合成混合信号上,本方法表现优异,对分离QPSK信号与5G干扰,误码率(BER)较先前最优方法降低122倍。所学表示能自适应干扰类型且无需附加信息,在推理时展现出零样本泛化能力,表明其潜力不仅限于射频领域。尽管本文以射频混合信号为例,但相同架构也适用于引力波数据(如LIGO应变)及其他需数据驱动建模背景与噪声的科学传感问题。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We study a problem of signal separation: estimating a signal of interest (SOI) contaminated by an unknown non-Gaussian background/interference. Given the training data consisting of examples of SOI and interference, we show how to build a fully data-driven signal separator. To that end we learn a good discrete tokenizer for SOI and then train an end-to-end transformer on a cross-entropy loss. Training with a cross-entropy shows substantial improvements over the conventional mean-squared error (MSE). Our tokenizer is a modification of Google's SoundStream, which incorporates additional transformer layers and switches from VQVAE to finite-scalar quantization (FSQ). Across real and synthetic mixtures from the MIT RF Challenge dataset, our method achieves competitive performance, including a 122x reduction in bit-error rate (BER) over prior state-of-the-art techniques for separating a QPSK signal from 5G interference. The learned representation adapts to the interference type without side information and shows zero-shot generalization to unseen mixtures at inference time, underscoring its potential beyond RF. Although we instantiate our approach on radio-frequency mixtures, we expect the same architecture to apply to gravitational-wave data (e.g., LIGO strain) and other scientific sensing problems that require data-driven modeling of background and noise.
