    Abstract: The description below relates to a method for a radar system that can be used to detect perturbations in the received radar signal. According to an example implementation, the method comprises providing a digital radar signal using a radar receiver, wherein the digital radar signal comprises a multiplicity of segments; calculating an envelope signal that represents the envelope of a segment of the digital radar signal; and ascertaining a time of the onset of an interference signal contained in the considered segment of the digital radar signal by using at least one statistical parameter of the envelope signal.

    Abstract: In accordance with an embodiment, a method of operating a radar system includes activating a transmitter to transmit a radar signal during a first time period, receiving a reflection of the radar signal from a radar antenna, downconverting the reflected radar signal, and digitally processing the downconverted reflected radar signal within a first frequency bandwidth using a first signal path. The method also includes deactivating the transmitter during a second time period, receiving a second signal from the radar antenna during the second time period, downconverting the second signal, measuring a power of the downconverted second signal within a second frequency bandwidth using a second signal path different from the first signal path, and determining an interference metric based on measuring the power.

    Abstract: A method is described below which can be used in a radar system. According to one example implementation, the method comprises providing a digital baseband signal using a radar receiver. The baseband signal comprises a plurality of segments, wherein each segment is assigned to a chirp of an emitted chirp sequence and each segment comprises a specific number of samples. For each signal sequence of n samples of the segments, where n in each case denotes a specific sample position within the respective segment, the method comprises the following: detecting interference-affected samples of the signal sequence; splitting the signal sequence into two or more sub-band signal sequences, wherein each sub-band signal sequence is assigned in each case to a frequency sub-band; replacing interference-affected samples in the two or more sub-band signal sequences in each case with a value which is based on adjacent samples in order to obtain corrected sub-band signal sequences; and determining a corrected signal sequence of n samples of the segments based on the corrected sub-band signal sequences.
