We show that injecting parametric-amplifier design
facts into field SIGINT—rpm notch/pole locations, stopbands,
and pump-locked idler relations from three-/four-wave mixing—
cuts false positives while preserving recall. We anchor in
deployed hooks (_load_atl_design, _label_atl_band,
_mixing_relations, annotate_signal_with_atl,
process_atl_alerts) and report ablations over frequency
tolerance (ppm) and the length of the recent-frequency FIFO
used to hypothesize idlers. Code produces a press-once PDF
with ROC/PR curves and parameter grids.
Below is a structured expansion plan for the 2-page conference-style note “Design-Informed RF Event Detection with ATL/TWPA Priors”.
The goal is to turn it into a 4–6 page journal or extended conference paper (e.g., IEEE T-SIGINT, RFIC, or MILCOM) while preserving the core contribution and adding rigor, depth, and novelty.
