Co-channel interference between WiFi and through-wall micro-Doppler radar

Co-channel interference between WiFi and through-wall micro-Doppler radar
Co-channel interference between WiFi and through-wall micro-Doppler radar

Narrowband through-wall radars have been researched for detecting and classifying indoor movers on the basis of their micro-Doppler signatures. These radars usually operate in the unlicensed 2.4GHz ISM band and are therefore susceptible to interference from WiFi networks operating with the IEEE 802.11g protocol. In this work, we show, through experiments, how the radar degrades the WiFi throughput by lowering the signal to noise and interference ratio at the WiFi receiver. Similarly, WiFi interference causes deterioration in the radar performance by increasing the probability of false alarms.

Abstract

Narrowband through-wall radars have been researched for detecting and classifying indoor movers on the basis of their micro-Doppler signatures. These radars usually operate in the unlicensed 2.4GHz ISM band and are therefore susceptible to interference from WiFi networks operating with the IEEE 802.11g protocol. In this work, we show, through experiments, how the radar degrades the WiFi throughput by lowering the signal to noise and interference ratio at the WiFi receiver. Similarly, WiFi interference causes deterioration in the radar performance by increasing the probability of false alarms.
