Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to exemplary embodiments of radar systems for providing increased robustness against radar interference transmissions and methods for controlling such radar systems. The radar system comprises at least one radar antenna configured at least for receiving a radar signal, a radar signal dividing means, a first receiver device and a second receiver device. The first receiver device is configured for monitoring a first frequency range and the second receiver device is configured for monitoring a second frequency range, wherein the second frequency range is wider than the first frequency range and the first frequency range is a subset of the second frequency range. The second receiver device is configured for measuring interference levels within the second frequency range. The present disclosure further relates to exemplary embodiments of methods for controlling the radar system, wherein the methods refer to measuring interference levels within the second frequency range, analysing measured interference levels, determining favourable frequency channels within the second frequency range in respect to interference level and possibly changing operating frequency channel in respect to measured interference levels.

Claim (Index 28):
The control method for a radar system ( 10 ) according to  claim 27 , wherein the radar system ( 10 ) additionally comprises:\n at least one radar antenna ( 16 ) configured at least for transmitting a radar signal ( 21 ) at a transmit frequency channel,\n wherein the radar signal ( 22 ) received by the radar antenna ( 16 ) is a response signal from the transmitted radar signal ( 21 ), \n wherein the transmit frequency channel lies within the first frequency range (1-FR), and \n wherein the method further comprises the method step of, when at least one radar interference level (IL-3) has been identified within the second frequency range (2-FR), adapting the configuration of the radar system ( 10 ) with respect to the identified radar interference level (IL-3) by:\n changing transmit frequency of the transmitted radar signal ( 21 ) and changing the first frequency range (1-FR) monitored by the first receiver device ( 12 ), such that the radar system ( 10 ) transmits within and monitors a new frequency channel, or \n changing the configuration of the filter means ( 14 ) to limit the frequency input to the first receiver device ( 12 ) such that the identified radar interference levels (IL-3) within the second frequency range (2-FR), but outside of the first frequency range (1-FR), are removed.
