Multi-channel joint interference mitigation

A radar system comprising:

• one or more processors configured to:
• determine that multi-channel joint interference is present in a radar radiation received by a plurality of receive channels of the radar system;
• prior to generating radar data based on the radar radiation, mitigate the multi-channel joint interference present in the radar radiation by:
• identifying, from first receive channels of the plurality of receive channels, a first set of samples of the radar radiation without interference;
• identifying, from second receive channels of the plurality of receive channels different from the first receive channels, a second set of samples of the radar radiation that comprises the interference;
• estimating the interference in the second set of samples by comparing the first set of samples to the second set of samples;
• suppressing, based on estimating the interference, the interference in the second set of samples;
• generate, based on the mitigated mitigation of the multi-channel joint interference in the radar radiation, the radar data;
• and
• output the radar data for at least detecting or tracking of objects in an environment of the radar system.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising instructions that, when executed, configure at least one processor of a radar system to:

• determine that multi-channel joint interference is present in a radar radiation received by a plurality of receive channels of the radar system;
• prior to generating radar data based on the radar radiation, mitigate the multi-channel joint interference present in the radar radiation by:
• identifying, from first receive channels of the plurality of receive channels, a first set of samples of the radar radiation without interference;
• identifying, from second receive channels of the plurality of receive channels different from the first receive channels, a second set of samples of the radar radiation that comprises the interference;
• estimating the interference in the second set of samples by comparing the first set of samples to the second set of samples;
• suppressing, based on estimating the interference, the interference in the second set of samples;
• generate, based on the mitigation of the multi-channel joint interference in the radar radiation, the radar data;
• and
• output the radar data for at least detecting or tracking of objects in an environment of the radar system.
