Radio-Frequency Convolutional Neural Networks
Running artificial intelligence (AI) models directly on edge devices such as smartphones, wearables, and drones offers low latency, pervasive scalability, and data privacy, but these devices rarely carry the computing capability that modern neural networks demand. Edge accelerators have been developed in response, yet each adds computing hardware to devices already constrained in size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C). An alternative lies in what these devices already carry: the frequency mixer in every wireless radio multiplies signals in time, natively performing convolution in the frequency domain. Here we introduce radio-frequency convolutional neural networks (RF-CNNs), which repurpo...
