Unfortunately, these radars are vulnerable to attacks such as jamming and spoofing. This research presents a simple and low-cost radar signal authentication method that can be used in automotive radar receivers that lack external hardware or networking systems. The proposed technique of detecting correlation and power spectral density (PSD) classifies incoming signals as interference-free or not, and it may be swiftly implemented via a firmware update. As an example, the Texas Instruments (TI) IWR1642 frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar is tested in both non-jamming and jamming situations. The return signals are processed to get the correlation and power spectral density (PSD) observations and thereby classify the signals. © 2024 IEEE.AutocorrelationFMCW radarJammingPower Spectral Densityradar spoofing
