Cognitive radio-frequency (RF) sensing is essential in modern sensing applications, but efficiently processing the broadband RF signals is challenging. To tackle this problem, scientists in China invented a photonic chip, which transforms the broadband RF signals into sparse features and lessens the challenge of digital processing. The scheme offers a promising path for the efficient signal processing involved in autonomous driving, robotics, and smart factories.
