In this paper, we propose a novel non-contact vibration measurement system that is competent in estimating linear and/or rotational motions of machine parts. The technique combines microwave radar, standard camera, and optical strobe to capture vibrational or rotational motions in a relatively fast and affordable manner when compared to the current technologies. In particular, the proposed technique is capable of not only measuring common vibrational parameters (e.g. frequency, motor rpm, etc.) but also provides spatial information of the vibrational sources so that the origin of each vibrational point can be identified accurately. Furthermore, it can also capture the wobbling motion of the rotating shafts. Thus, the proposed method can find immense applications in preventive maintenance across various industries where heavy machinery needs to be monitored unobtrusively or there is a requirement for non-contact multi-point vibration measurement for any machine inspection applications.

In this work, we performed a thorough comparative analysis on a radio frequency (RF) based drone detection and identification system (DDI) under wireless interference, such as WiFi and Bluetooth, by using machine learning algorithms, and a pre-traine d convolutional neural network-based algorithm called SqueezeNet, as classifiers. In RF signal fingerprinting research, the transient and steady state of the signals can be used to extract a unique signature from an RF signal. By exploiting the RF control signals from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for DDI, we considered each state of the signals separately for feature extraction and compared the pros and cons for drone detection and identification. Using various categories of wavelet transforms (discrete wavelet transform, continuous wavelet transform, and wavelet scattering transform) for extracting features from the signals, we built different models using these features. We studied the performance of these models under different signal to noise ratio (SNR) levels. By using the wavelet scattering transform to extract signatures (scattergrams) from the steady state of the RF signals at 30 dB SNR, and using these scattergrams to train SqueezeNet, we achieved an accuracy of 98.9% at 10 dB SNR.
In this work, performance of a multi-antenna multiuser unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assisted terrestrial-satellite communication system over mixed free space optics (FSO)/ radio frequency (RF) channels is analyzed. Downlink transmission from the sat ellite to the UAV is completed through FSO link which follows Gamma-Gamma distribution with pointing error impairments. Both the heterodyne detection and intensity modulation direct detection techniques are considered at the FSO receiver. To avail the antenna diversity, multiple transmit antennas are considered at the UAV. Selective decode-and-forward scheme is assumed at the UAV and opportunistic user scheduling is performed while considering the practical constraints of outdated channel state information (CSI) during the user selection and transmission phase. The RF links are assumed to follow Nakagami-m distribution due to its versatile nature. In this context, for the performance analysis, analytical expressions of outage probability, asymptotic outage probability, ergodic capacity, effective capacity, and generalized average symbol-error-rate expressions of various quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) schemes such as hexagonal-QAM, cross-QAM, and rectangular QAM are derived. A comparison of various modulation schemes is presented. Further, the impact of pointing error, number of antennas, delay constraint, fading severity, and imperfect CSI are highlighted on the system performance. Finally, all the analytical results are verified through the Monte-Carlo simulations.

This paper investigates the problem of classification of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from radio frequency (RF) fingerprints at the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. We use convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained with both RF time-serie s images and the spectrograms of 15 different off-the-shelf drone controller RF signals. When using time-series signal images, the CNN extracts features from the signal transient and envelope. As the SNR decreases, this approach fails dramatically because the information in the transient is lost in the noise, and the envelope is distorted heavily. In contrast to time-series representation of the RF signals, with spectrograms, it is possible to focus only on the desired frequency interval, i.e., 2.4 GHz ISM band, and filter out any other signal component outside of this band. These advantages provide a notable performance improvement over the time-series signals-based methods. To further increase the classification accuracy of the spectrogram-based CNN, we denoise the spectrogram images by truncating them to a limited spectral density interval. Creating a single model using spectrogram images of noisy signals and tuning the CNN model parameters, we achieve a classification accuracy varying from 92% to 100% for an SNR range from -10 dB to 30 dB, which significantly outperforms the existing approaches to our best knowledge.
With the development and widespread use of wireless devices in recent years (mobile phones, Internet of Things, Wi-Fi), the electromagnetic spectrum has become extremely crowded. In order to counter security threats posed by rogue or unknown transmit ters, it is important to identify RF transmitters not by the data content of the transmissions but based on the intrinsic physical characteristics of the transmitters. RF waveforms represent a particular challenge because of the extremely high data rates involved and the potentially large number of transmitters present in a given location. These factors outline the need for rapid fingerprinting and identification methods that go beyond the traditional hand-engineered approaches. In this study, we investigate the use of machine learning (ML) strategies to the classification and identification problems, and the use of wavelets to reduce the amount of data required. Four different ML strategies are evaluated: deep neural nets (DNN), convolutional neural nets (CNN), support vector machines (SVM), and multi-stage training (MST) using accelerated Levenberg-Marquardt (A-LM) updates. The A-LM MST method preconditioned by wavelets was by far the most accurate, achieving 100% classification accuracy of transmitters, as tested using data originating from 12 different transmitters. We discuss strategies for extension of MST to a much larger number of transmitters.
Machine learning (ML) provides effective means to learn from spectrum data and solve complex tasks involved in wireless communications. Supported by recent advances in computational resources and algorithmic designs, deep learning (DL) has found succ ess in performing various wireless communication tasks such as signal recognition, spectrum sensing and waveform design. However, ML in general and DL in particular have been found vulnerable to manipulations thus giving rise to a field of study called adversarial machine learning (AML). Although AML has been extensively studied in other data domains such as computer vision and natural language processing, research for AML in the wireless communications domain is still in its early stage. This paper presents a comprehensive review of the latest research efforts focused on AML in wireless communications while accounting for the unique characteristics of wireless systems. First, the background of AML attacks on deep neural networks is discussed and a taxonomy of AML attack types is provided. Various methods of generating adversarial examples and attack mechanisms are also described. In addition, an holistic survey of existing research on AML attacks for various wireless communication problems as well as the corresponding defense mechanisms in the wireless domain are presented. Finally, as new attacks and defense techniques are developed, recent research trends and the overarching future outlook for AML for next-generation wireless communications are discussed.
