Radio frequency (RF) fingerprinting authenticates wireless devices from hardware-induced I/Q impairments, typically with deep learning feature extractors that are accurate but opaque, limiting their use in security critical settings. We propose Polar Monotonic Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks (Polar MKAN), a block partitioned monotonic encoder on polar inputs in which each latent dimension depends exclusively on magnitude or phase, yielding channel separation and monotone responses by construction.

On a synthetic gain and carrier frequency offset (CFO) benchmark, Polar MKAN reaches 57.2 percent DCI Disentanglement versus at most 12.9 percent for unpartitioned baselines. We further evaluate the detection accuracy trade off on real data and the sensitivity to blind CFO compensation.
