AI model enhances radar altimeter accuracy by mitigating interference

Researchers have developed a temporal convolutional autoencoder (TCAE) designed to mitigate interference in FMCW radar altimeters. This deep learning model processes in-phase and quadrature (IQ) samples directly to suppress structured interference while preserving essential signal characteristics for accurate altitude estimation. Initial evaluations show the TCAE significantly reduces altitude estimation errors, outperforming traditional adaptive filtering methods, particularly in challenging conditions with high interference levels and bandwidth overlap.
