Weather Radar Receiver Identification for Improving Wi-Fi Interference Detection

Abstract

One of the main sources of electromagnetic interference that affects the operation of weather radars is due to Wi-Fi networks that operate in the same frequency band.There are various signal processing strategies to mitigate the interference effect. One of these strategies is to detect the signal using the deterministic preamble of the Wi-Fi packets.This work presents a radar receiver identification technique that allows generating a reference signal that better assimilates the preamble received in the processing stage and therefore helps to improve the method for detecting these interfering signals.
