SIDELOBE SUBTRACTION METHOD IN AUTOMOTIVE RADAR SIGNAL PROCESSING
20210041574 · 2021-02-11 ·

A method is disclosed for suppressing sidelobes due to artifacts introduced by FFT operations during automotive radar signal processing. Sidelobes of a stronger target from the FFT operations may bury the response from a weaker target when there are multiple targets. The method estimates the sidelobes of an identified target from a measured FFT response and subtracts the estimated sidelobes from the measured FFT response. The identified target may be the strongest target from the measured FFT response. The method estimates the sidelobes to suppress the sidelobes with respect to the peak signal of the identified target. After the estimated sidelobes of the identified target are removed, the updated FFT response may reveal other targets that had been buried. The method may identify additional targets to estimate their sidelobes and may iteratively remove the estimated sidelobes of additional targets from the FFT until a desired sidelobe residual level is achieved.

Systems and Methods for Weather Radar Processing

Systems and methods for weather radar processing, comprising a processor in communication with a first database and a second database and computer system code executed by the processor. The computer system code causes the processor to ingest radar data from the first database and ingest numerical weather prediction data from the second database.
