Article Abstract
To eliminate tethering effects on the small animals' behavior during electrophysiology experiments, such as neural interfacing, a robust and wideband wireless data link is needed for communicating with the implanted sensing elements without blind spots. We present a software-defined radio (SDR) based scalable data acquisition system, which can be programmed to provide coverage over standard-sized or customized experimental arenas. The incoming RF signal with the highest power among SDRs is selected in real-time to prevent data loss in the presence of spatial and angular misalignments between the transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) antennas. A 32-channel wireless neural recording system-on-a-chip (SoC), known as WINeRS-8, is embedded in a headstage and transmits digitalized raw neural signals, which are sampled at 25 kHz/ch, at 9 Mbps via on-off keying (OOK) of a 434 MHz RF carrier. Measurement results show that the dual-SDR Rx system reduces the packet loss down to 0.12%, on average, by eliminating the blind spots caused by the moving Tx directionality. The system operation is verified in vivo on a freely behaving rat and compared with a commercial hardwired system.

Automatic modulation classification (AMC) is a critical component in modern communication systems, particularly within software-defined radios, cognitive radio networks, smart grid and and distributed renewable energy systems (RESs) where adaptive and efficient signal processing is essential. This paper proposes a novel deep learning-based AMC method for identifying M-PSK and M-QAM waveform signals in single-relay cooperative MIMO 5G systems operating under partial channel state information (CSI) and spatially correlated channels. The proposed method leverages a convolutional neural network (CNN) classifier trained on a reduced set of discriminative features, including higher-order statistics and the differential nonlinear phase peak factor, which are extracted from the received signal.

This paper proposes a new deep learning and machine learning model for detecting deception and suppression jamming in Ublox-M8T receivers operating under GNSS interference. This solution employs XGBoost for real-time classification of jamming signals, implemented on an STM32H743 microcontroller to ensure ultra-low latency, making it suitable for navigation in various environments. This work's key contribution is integrating a windowing mechanism for pre-saturation alerts and early activation of jamming detection which enhances system reliability by distinguishing between high-credibility and low-credibility GNSS data under static and dynamic jamming conditions.
