This document describes techniques and systems of a radar system with sequential two-dimensional (2D) angle estimation. The radar system can efficiently estimate angles in two dimensions for detections. For example, a radar system includes a processor and an antenna that can receive electromagnetic energy reflected by one or more objects. The antenna includes a 2D array that includes antenna elements positioned in a first dimension and a second dimension. The processor can determine, using electromagnetic energy received by the 2D array, first angles in the first dimension associated with a detection of the one or more objects. The processor can then steer the 2D array to the first angle to generate a steered 1D array for each first angle. Using the steered 1D array, the processor can determine second angles associated with the first angle for the detection.

Radar system with sequential two-dimensional angle estimation

This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems for multi-channel joint interference mitigation. Radar radiation received by a radar system may include interference from other nearby radar systems. The interference can result in reduced sensitivity of the radar system. The techniques, apparatuses, and systems described herein mitigate the interference by identifying a set of samples of the radar radiation with interference. The interference can be estimated and mitigated by comparing this set (e.g., with interference) to a set of samples without interference and suppressing the interference without suppressing the detected signal. Further, the interference can be analyzed to determine if the interference contains detection information of one or more objects (e.g., other vehicles with radar systems causing interference). In this manner, interference mitigation may be obtained without losing information included in the set of samples including interference.
