Approaches for Interference-proof Future Radar Systems

Abstract

Automated driving reveals various shortcomings of today’s commercial automotive radar systems. We address them by proposing a noise modulated pulse-Doppler radar system that uses a subset of usually required correlation filters at the receiver stage. With a validated phenomenological radar sensor model we evaluated the radar performance in various conditions such as low signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) and interference and compared it against a commercial frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar.
