    Abstract: A method of processing radar signalling, the method comprising: receiving a mask (815) that represents samples in the radar signalling that are detected as including interference. The mask (815) comprises a matrix of data having a first dimension and a second dimension, wherein the first dimension represents a fast-time axis and the second dimension represents a slow-time axis. The method further comprises performing frequency analysis on the mask (815) across each of the fast-time axis and the slow-time axis of the mask in order to provide a range-Doppler processed mask (817); and deconvolving a range-Doppler map (813) of the received radar signalling using the range-Doppler processed mask (817) in order to provide a deconvolved-range-Doppler map (814).

    Abstract: A radar processor for processing a frame of radar data received from one or more targets, the frame of radar data having a carrier frequency and comprising a sequence of codewords with a codeword repetition interval, wherein the carrier frequency and the codeword repetition interval define an unambiguous velocity range, the radar processor configured to: receive the frame of radar data; transform the frame to obtain a velocity data array; apply a correction algorithm to the velocity data array to correct a Doppler shift of the frame to obtain a corrected array, wherein the correction algorithm comprises a set of Doppler correction frequencies corresponding to a set of velocity gates and at least one of the set of Doppler correction frequencies corresponds to a velocity gate outside the unambiguous velocity range; and perform range processing on the corrected array to obtain a range-Doppler map.

    Abstract: A method of processing radar data comprising: receiving a mask that identifies a set of samples in received radar signalling that are detected as including interference, and comprises a matrix of data having a fast-time dimension and a slow-time dimension; receiving radar data comprising a matrix of samples of received radar signalling having a fast-time dimension and a slow-time dimension wherein the set of samples identified by the mask have been set to a predetermined value to remove said samples including interference; determining a reconstruction of the radar data in which at least the set of samples of the radar data are replaced with estimated samples, wherein said determining a reconstruction of the radar data comprises formulating an optimization problem based on the radar data and the mask, and applying an iterative method to solve the optimization problem at least in part in the range-Doppler domain.

    Abstract: A radar receiver comprising: an ADC (510) that samples analogue intermediate frequency, IF, signalling in order to generate digital signalling, wherein the digital signalling comprises a plurality of digital-values; a digital processor that populates a 2-dimensional array of bin-values based on the digital-values, such that: a first axis of the 2-dimensional array is a fast time axis and a second axis of the 2-dimensional array is a slow time axis; and a sampling-rate-adjuster that is configured to set a sampling rate associated with the bin-values in the 2-dimensional array based on an index of the slow time axis. The digital processor also performs DFT calculations on the bin-values in the 2-dimensional array along the fast time axis and the slow time axis in order to determine the range and velocity of any detected objects.
