Abstract: This paper introduces a method to reduce interference in OFDM radar systems through the use of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RIS). The method involves adjusting the RIS elements to diminish interference effects and improve the clarity of the desired signal. A neural network framework is established to optimize the configurations of the RIS, aiming to lower the power from unwanted sources while enhancing the target signal. The network produces settings that focus on maximizing the signal at the intended angle. Utilizing a convolution-based approach, we illustrate the effective tuning of RIS elements for interference mitigation and the creation of nulls in the direction of interference, resulting in a better signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR). Simulations confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method in a radar context, demonstrating its capability to enhance target detection while reducing interference.
