<![CDATA[Autonomous radar interference is a challenging problem in autonomous vehicle systems. Interference signals can decrease the signal-to-interference-noise ratio (SINR), and this condition decreases the performance detection of autonomous radar. This paper exploits a neural network and signal decomposition to detect and mitigate radar interference in autonomous vehicle applications. A neural network (NN) with four inputs, one hidden layer, and one output is trained with various signal-to-noise (SNR), interference radar bandwidth, and sweep time of autonomous radar. Four inputs of NN represent SNR, mean, total harmonic distortion (THD), and root means square (RMS) of the received radar signal. Variational mode decomposition (VMD) and zeroing based on a constant false alarm rate (CFAR-Z) are used to mitigate radar interference. VMD algorithm is applied to decompose interference signals into multi-frequency sub-band. As a result, the proposed neural network can detect radar interference, and NN-VMD-CFAR-Z can increase SINR up to 2dB higher than the NN-CFAR-Z algorithm.]]>
