Abstract

Described is a system for Neuromorphic Adaptive Core (NeurACore) signal processor for ultra-wide instantaneous bandwidth denoising of a noisy signal. The NeurACore signal processor includes a digital signal pre-processing unit for performing cascaded decomposition of a wideband complex valued In-phase and Quadrature-phase (I/Q) input signal in real time. The wideband complex valued I/Q input signal is decomposed into I and Q sub-channels. The NeurACore signal processor further includes a NeurACore and local learning layers for performing high-dimensional projection of the wideband complex valued I/Q input signal into a high-dimensional state space; a global learning layer for performing a gradient descent online learning algorithm; and a neural combiner for combining outputs of the global learning layer to compute signal predictions corresponding to the wideband complex valued I/Q input signal.
