Authors - Rajyashree H, Govindarajan J Abstract - The FMCW radar sensor technology has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in various applications, both civilian and military, due to its affordability and efficiency in a wide range of operational conditions. Nonetheless, this technology faces challenges related to mutual interference during object detection, which can negatively impact its performance. Advanced signal processing techniques, combined with cutting-edge software tools, can help mitigate this issue. This study embarks on the innovative journey of developing a module within NS-3 a distinguished network simulator, that encompasses all essential components of FMCW radar, including transmission, reception, and processing units for the very first time. The prevailing challenges experienced by the researchers in asserting their protocols in real-time have motivated us to design and develop the radar module in NS-3 that fosters to validate the protocols for radars in heterogenous environment in an emulated setup. Two unique mitigation algorithms—Ti’sInterference Mitigation, and Frequency Hopping via Unslotted Aloha—have been meticulously implemented and assessed. This undertaking lays a firm groundwork for the enhancement of the radar module, facilitating better performance in intricate setups.
