20230333232 · 2023-10-19 · ·

Architectures and techniques for radar interference detection are provided. A radar sensor system in accordance with the present disclosure may receive, via a radio frequency (RF) receiver, radar signals including a radar signal of interest and one or more interfering radar signals. The radar sensor system may calculate a Doppler spectrum for each of the radar signals and perform a chirplet transform on the Doppler spectrum to generate various waveform parameters. A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) may be performed on the waveform parameters to extract frequency features of the radar signals. The radar sensor system may classify the frequency features using a classifier to identify interfering frequency features associated with the interfering radar signals using a classifier. The radar sensor system may further extract interfering waveform information based on the interfering frequency features of the interfering RF signals. Interference mitigation may be performed utilizing the interfering waveform information.
