Detection of Interference in C-Band Signals using K-Means Clustering

Interference is a main disruptive phenomenon which degrades the performance of communication systems and in general the quality of signal acquisition. Real-time communication through a channel is never free from signal disrupting phenomena like interference, distortion and noise. Hence it is essential to study their effects and methods of identifying them. Conventional methods to identify, estimate and mitigate interference are model driven. A data driven approach is far more efficient and adaptable than model driven methods. In this paper, we exemplify the use of a data driven approach to identify signatures of interference based on analysis of the acquired RF data.
