Estimation and cancellation of interferences in automotive radar signals

Radar sensors become typical components for automotive driver assistance systems and autonomous driving. The widespread use of this sensor type leads to an increasing risk of unwanted interferences. Those interferences can severely degrade the detection performance and cause sensor blindness. To overcome this problem, this paper describes a method to estimate and remove interfering signals in data of chirp sequence modulated radars. The estimation is derived theoretically and applied on simulation and measurement data.
