Spatial-Domain Object Detection Under Mimo-Fmcw Automotive Radar Interference

This paper considers spatial-domain detector design for mutual interference mitigation among automotive MIMO-FMCW radars. This detector design is based on our previously derived interference signal model that fully accounts for the time-frequency incoherence and the slow-time code incoherence between the victim and interfering radars. Compared with our previous spatial-domain detector in [1], the proposed detector further exploits the structural property of both transmit and receive steering vectors of the interference for stronger interference mitigation. Preliminary numerical results confirm the performance of our proposed detector and show advantages over baseline detectors.
