Abstract

A signal detection module has: a first branch for receiving an input signal and outputting a first output signal; one or more second branches each for receiving at least a portion of the input signal and outputting a second output signal; a first normalization layer for normalizing a combination of the first and second output signals to obtain a normalized signal; and an output layer receiving the normalized signal and generating a detected signal. The first branch has an input layer and one or more modified residual blocks (RBs) connected in series. Each second branch has an input layer and one or more RBs connected in series. The output of at least one of the one or more RBs is also connected to the first branch, and combined with an output of one of the one or more modified RBs.
