Abstract
A multiple-input multiple-output backscatter radio frequency identification (RFID) system consists of three operational ends: the query end (with <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="TeX">$M$</tex-math></inline-formula> reader transmitting antennas), the tag end (with <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="TeX">$L$</tex-math></inline-formula> tag antennas), and the receiving end (with <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="TeX">$N$</tex-math></inline-formula> reader receiving antennas). Such an <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="TeX">$M\times L\times N$</tex-math></inline-formula> setting in RFID can bring spatial diversity and has been studied with the use of space-time code (STC) at the tag end. Current research generally has ignored query signaling as a means to improve performance. Here we propose a novel <bold xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">unitary query</b> scheme, which creates time diversity <bold xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">within the channel coherent time </b> and can yield significant performance improvements. To overcome the difficulty of evaluating the performance when unitary query is employed at the query end and STC is employed at the tag end, we derive a new measure based on the ranks of certain carefully constructed matrices to show that unitary query has superior performance. Simulations show that unitary query can bring 5–10 dB gain in mid signal-to-noise ratio regimes. In addition, different from the conventional uniform query case, unitary query can also improve the performance of single-antenna tags significantly, enabling single-antenna tags with low complexity and small size to be used for high performance.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
