Patent ID: 11448752

Abstract:
A method for producing an interference reduced radar image comprises receiving a measured sequence of beat signals; identifying one or more interference segments within the measured sequence of beat signals, an interference segment being a segment subject to an interference; doctoring the measured sequence of beat signals by creating a doctored representation of the measured sequence of beat signals in the form of a matrix Y; creating a doctoring mask representing the doctoring of the measured sequence of beat signals, the doctoring mask being a matrix M; and estimating a reconstructed range-doppler image {circumflex over (X)} from Y and M, wherein the reconstructed range-doppler image is a range-doppler image of Y which is deconvolved using M; such that doctoring the measured sequence of beat signals at least partially removes interference effects and estimating a reconstructed range-doppler image at least partially removes image artefacts created by the doctoring.
