New paper on deep unfolding for channel estimation and precoding accepted at SPAWC
Paper accepted to IEEE JSTSP
Our paper entitled Model-based learning for multi-antenna multi-frequency location-to-channel mapping has just been accepted to the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics on Signal Processing ( Editor link). It shows that a physically-inspired neural network can faithfully reconstruct channel responses in a given environment with a reasonable number of learnable weights.

New preprint on dynamic metasurface antenna analysis
A new preprint entitled Benefits of Mutual Coupling in Dynamic Metasurface Antennas for Optimizing Wireless Communications – Theory and Experimental Validation just appeared on arXiv. This is a joint work with Philipp del Hougne and his team, in which a physical model is used to analyze the impact of mutual coupling on both the strength and simplicity of the configuration/radiation pattern mapping.
