Techniques are provided for radar blanking using dynamic subinterval noise floor estimation. A radar blanking system implementing the techniques according to an embodiment includes a noise floor estimator configured to extract noise samples from a segment of in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) input signal samples. The system also includes a blanking threshold calculator configured to calculate blanking thresholds based on statistics of the noise samples, the statistics including a mean of the noise samples and a standard deviation of the noise samples. The system further includes a blanking processor configured to select a subset of the IQ input signal samples that exceed the blanking thresholds and replace the selected subset of the IQ input signal samples with the mean of the noise samples to generate a blanked signal.
A radar blanking system comprising:
A computer program product including one or more non-transitory machine-readable mediums encoded with instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause a process to be carried out for radar blanking, the process comprising:
A method for radar blanking, the method comprising:
