Multi-radar interference experiment and performance evaluations on algorithm-based and learning-based schemes

Published: 07 December 2023 Publication History

Abstract

The demand for high-resolution automotive radar operating in the 77GHz band is on the rise, especially as we approach the practical implementation of autonomous driving technology. With the increasing prevalence of in-vehicle Chirp Sequence (CS) radars in the future, there is a growing concern about the potential for broadband inter-radar interference. This interference poses a significant risk, potentially leading to a higher likelihood of undetected targets. To address this problem, various algorithm-based and learning-based schemes have been proposed to suppress the inter-radar interference, e.g., iterative threshold based zero suppression method and RNN (Recurrent Neural Network) based interference suppression method. However, they only demonstrate their effectiveness based on simulation results. In this paper, we conducted a multi-radar interference experiment with up to four interference sources and compared the performance of different schemes by using the collected real data.
