The present invention relates to a system (300) for reducing or cancelling unwanted signals when detecting objects of interest with a detection system (200). The detection system thereby is an antenna based system using two or more receive beams as echo response to an emission signal. The system (300) for reducing or cancelling unwanted signals comprises an input means (310) adapted for obtaining from said antenna system (210) receive signals from a first receive beam and receive signals from at least one second receive beam responsive to the same emission signal. It furthermore comprises a coupling means (320) adapted for coupling the receive signals from the first receive beam to the receive signals from the at least one second receive beam, so as to obtain a detection signal for the objects of interest with suppressed unwanted signal contribution.
A system for suppressing unwanted signals when detecting objects of interest with a detection system comprising an air traffic control radar scanning antenna system using two or more receive beams, comprising
A method for detecting objects of interest, the method comprising:
A method for upgrading a detection system comprising an antenna using two or more receive beams and a means for switching between the two or more receive beams, the method comprising:
