IMIKO-Radar: Interference Measurements of Today's Automotive Radar Sensors

The topic of interference mitigation in radar is an important point in automotive system development. More and more cars equipped with radar sensors are driving on the roads. Also more cars are equipped with more then one radar sensor. This leads to higher probability of radar interference. In the publicly funded IMIKO-Radar project new cooperative mitigation methods shall be developed for interference between various automotive radars as well as between automotive radars and road infrastructure radars. This paper summarizes procedures and results from the task of this project which investigated the interference situation for today's noncooperative radars. A part of the project included measurement on test ground of today's automotive radar sensors.
