Abstract
The radio frequency (RF) spectrum is a critical strategic resource underpinning modern wireless communication systems. Since spectrum usage becomes increasingly congested and dynamic, intelligent spectrum management is essential to ensure efficient and secure communication services. However, traditional spectrum management methods, predominantly based on small-scale models, face challenges of limited adaptability and poor generalization in complex and dynamic wireless environments. Although recent spectrum foundation models show promising capabilities, they remain constrained by singlemodality representations and insufficient integration of domain knowledge. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of existing spectrum foundation models and, addressing identified limitations, proposes a knowledge-enhanced multimodal spectrum foundation model framework. Specifically, the framework leverages heterogeneous spectrum modalities, including raw inphase and quadrature (IQ) samples, received signal strength indicators (RSSI), time-frequency representations, and channel state information (CSI), to achieve unified and robust spectrum representation. Furthermore, knowledge graph is exploited to enhance the model understanding and reasoning capabilities. The learned representations are then utilized to support downstream spectrum management tasks.

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
