Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of biomimetic metasurface technology, and in particular to a biomimetic metasurface information processing unit, system, and method for DNA-encoded information processing. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of artificial intelligence and robotics, the demand for high-performance, low-power computing hardware is increasing. Traditional electronic computing architectures are gradually facing bottlenecks in terms of power consumption, integration, and parallel processing capabilities, making it difficult to meet the requirements of real-time processing of complex tasks. In recent years, inspired by the information processing mechanisms in biological systems (such as neural network computing and DNA computing), biomimetic computing hardware has become an important research direction.

[0003] In existing technologies, research has proposed using metasurfaces to control electromagnetic waves, and even introduced preliminary nonlinear or reconfigurable characteristics. However, most of these schemes still rely on external analog-to-digital converters / digital-to-analog converters (ADCs / DACs) and digital processing units, resulting in problems such as high system redundancy, high energy consumption, and slow response speed. On the other hand, although DNA computing exhibits extremely high parallelism and information density in solution, it is difficult to directly integrate with electronic systems, and reading, writing, and control still depend on the biochemical environment, limiting practical applications.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a new computing architecture that can deeply integrate the principles of biomolecular computing with electronic information processing hardware, so as to realize an electrically controllable, integrable, and scalable biomimetic information processing system while maintaining high energy efficiency and high density. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The first metal layer includes a first metal patch and integrates a T-junction dB power divider and an RF detector. The metal patch of the first metal layer and the T-junction dB power divider are connected through a microstrip line. The spatial electromagnetic wave energy coupled by the first metal patch is transmitted through the microstrip line and split into two RF signals by the T-junction power divider. One RF signal is converted into a DC voltage by the RF detector to realize energy detection, and the other RF signal is transmitted to the fourth metal layer through a via.

[0017] Step 603: Apply the binary control signal sequence to the biomimetic metasurface information processing system to control the working state of each unit, so that the electromagnetic response of the biomimetic metasurface information processing system simulates the encoded information of a specific DNA sequence;

[0018] Step 604: Using matching algorithms corresponding to different functional areas of the brain, the electromagnetic signals output by the biomimetic metasurface information processing system are read and analyzed, thereby realizing logical operations, sequence recognition, or information reading functions based on DNA encoding rules.

[0019] A multi-frequency information processing method is provided, based on the aforementioned biomimetic metasurface information processing system.

[0020] The biomimetic metasurface information processing system includes multiple metasurface neural network modules configured to simulate different brain functional areas. The metasurface neural network modules are composed of multiple layers of the biomimetic metasurface array stacked together.

[0021] The method includes:

[0022] Electromagnetic wave signals with different center frequencies are simultaneously applied to different metasurface neural network modules composed of the aforementioned biomimetic metasurface information processing units;

[0023] Each metasurface neural network module independently receives and processes signals in its corresponding frequency band to simulate the collaborative processing of multimodal external information by different brain functional areas in parallel.

[0024] The processed information is transmitted and associated through the interconnection between metasurface neural network modules, ultimately realizing brain-like associative computing functions.

The first metal layer 1 includes a circular first metal patch 10 with a radius of 7.32 mm, and integrates a T-junction power divider 11 and an RF detector 12. The metal patch of the first metal layer 1 and the T-junction power divider 11 are connected by microstrip lines. The spatial electromagnetic wave energy coupled by the first metal patch 10 is transmitted through the microstrip lines and split into two RF signals by the T-junction power divider 11. One RF signal is converted into a DC voltage by the RF detector 12 to realize energy detection, and the other RF signal is transmitted to the fourth metal layer 7 through the via 8.

[0048] The side containing the fourth metal layer 7 is considered the front side. The fourth metal layer 7 includes a circular second metal patch 20 with a radius of 7.32 mm, and integrates an RF amplifier 21 and a memory element 22. The RF amplifier 21 is used to amplify the RF signal transmitted through the via 8, and the memory element 22 is used to store the configuration status of the unit or the processed data information.

It is responsible for encoding, parsing, and reconstructing the electromagnetic signals received and transmitted by the unit. Through electromagnetic control, it realizes DNA-like sequence recognition, logical operations, and information reading and writing functions.

[0055] Step 603: Apply the binary control signal sequence to the biomimetic metasurface information processing system to control the working state of each unit, so that the electromagnetic response of the biomimetic metasurface information processing system simulates the encoded information of a specific DNA sequence;

[0056] Step 604: Using matching algorithms corresponding to different functional areas of the brain, the electromagnetic signals output by the biomimetic metasurface information processing system are read and analyzed, thereby realizing logical operations, sequence recognition, or information reading functions based on DNA encoding rules.

[0057] like Figure 7 As shown, the present invention also proposes a multi-frequency information processing method based on the biomimetic metasurface information processing system. The biomimetic metasurface information processing system includes multiple metasurface neural network modules configured to simulate different brain functional areas (such as thinking functional areas, mental functional areas, auditory functional areas, etc.). The metasurface neural network modules are composed of multiple layers of the biomimetic metasurface array stacked together. Different metasurface neural networks can simulate different human brain functional areas and can be interconnected through wireless communication, thereby achieving collaborative implementation of more complex biomimetic tasks.

[0058] The multi-frequency information processing method includes:

[0059] Electromagnetic wave signals with different center frequencies are simultaneously applied to different metasurface neural network modules composed of the aforementioned biomimetic metasurface information processing units;

[0060] Each metasurface neural network module independently receives and processes signals in its corresponding frequency band to simulate the collaborative processing of multimodal external information by different brain functional areas in parallel.

[0061] The processed information is transmitted and associated through the interconnection between metasurface neural network modules, ultimately realizing brain-like associative computing functions.
