Abstract
A method of processing a radio frequency signal includes: receiving the radio frequency signal at an antenna of a receiver device; processing, by a radio frequency front-end device, the radio frequency signal; converting, by an analog-to-digital converter, the analog signal to a digital signal; receiving, by a neural network, the digital signal; and processing, by the neural network, the digital signal to produce an output.

A method of processing a radio frequency signal, comprising:
- receiving the radio frequency signal at an antenna of a receiver device;
- processing, by a radio frequency front-end device, the radio frequency signal;
- converting, by an analog-to-digital converter, the radio frequency signal to a digital signal;
- receiving, by a neural network trained to operate on a streaming radio platform, the digital signal;
- and
- processing, by the neural network, the digital signal to produce an output.
A method of constructing and training a neural network that is configured to process a signal, the method comprising:
- identifying a processing function to be performed on the signal by the neural network;
- determining, an optimum format for training vectors to be applied to the neural network;
- determining a number of layers of the neural network, number of nodes per layer, the node connectivity structure, and initial weights of the neural network;
- and
- inputting, into the neural network, a plurality of formatted training vectors in order to train the neural network to perform the processing function on the signal.
A receiver device configured to process a radio frequency signal, comprising:
- an antenna configured to receive the radio frequency signal;
- a radio frequency front-end device configured to process the radio frequency signal;
- an analog-to-digital converter configured to convert the radio frequency signal to a digital signal;
- and
- a neural network trained to operate on a streaming radio platform and configured to receive the digital signal and to process the digital signal to produce an output.
