A novel structure of QLN-CNN is proposed. The new structure of the QLN-CNN contains two layers of QCA array and introduces concepts of the A cloning templates, the B cloning templates, and the thresholds. The gene-decoding concept of CNNs is also used in this structure. Thus it operates more like real CNNs. In this paper, three CNN operations are proven to be achieved by this new structure through MATLAB simulations.
