Radar interference mitigation and target radar data gap filling

An apparatus comprising:

• a radar front end configured to convert a received radar signal from one or more targets to digitized samples;
• a radar processor configured to execute instructions from a memory that manipulate the processor to:
• produce a plurality of frequency data sets from the digitized samples, wherein each frequency data set of the plurality of frequency data sets is associated with a corresponding received chirp reflection of a plurality of radar chirp reflections in the received radar signal;
• determine a threshold based on magnitudes of samples across the plurality of frequency data sets;
• suppress samples in the plurality of frequency data sets based on the threshold to produce a plurality of modified frequency data sets;
• and
• identify a range associated with the one or more targets based on the plurality of modified frequency data sets.
