Edge accelerators have been developed in response, yet each adds computing hardware to devices already constrained in size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C). An alternative lies in what these devices already carry: the frequency mixer in every wireless radio multiplies signals in time, natively performing convolution in the frequency domain. Here we introduce radio-frequency convolutional neural networks (RF-CNNs), which repurpose existing communication hardware for CNN inference. Multi-channel convolutions are mapped onto frequency tones for a passive mixer to execute in a single pass. We experimentally demonstrate that RF-CNN runs deep CNNs up to 26.4 million parameters and nine layers from classification of wireless signals and images to controllable image generation, close to full-precision performance. Because the weights arrive over the air and the analog hardware is shared with communication, the edge device spends energy only on data preparation and readout-down to 0.72 femtojoules per multiply-accumulate, two orders of magnitude less than it would cost on an added digital processor. These results suggest that deployed wireless infrastructure can bring efficient, state-of-the-art AI inference to the billions of devices it already connects. Comments: 15 pages, 4 figures.
