Abstract: A method is provided for detecting interference in a radar system. The method includes transmitting, by a transmitter of the radar system, a sequence of radar pulses at a regular interval with a rest period following each radar pulse of the sequence of radar pulses. The transmitter is disabled during each rest period. A receiver is enabled to receive reflected radar pulses from a target during the rest period following each radar pulse of the sequence of radar pulses. Some of the radar pulses are selected to be omitted and not transmitted. The receiver is still enabled during the rest periods following the omitted transmission pulses. Any reflected pulses received during the rest periods following the omitted transmission pulses may be an indication of a targeted interference of the radar system. In another embodiment, a radar system is provided.

Abstract: In accordance with a first aspect of the present disclosure, a communication device is provided, comprising: an ultra-wideband (UWB) communication unit configured to enable UWB communication with at least one external communication device; a processing unit configured to perform a ranging session between the communication device and the external communication device, wherein said ranging session comprises one or more distance measurements based on messages exchanged between the communication device and the external communication device, wherein said messages are exchanged through the UWB communication unit; a prioritization unit configured to prioritize said ranging session using a synchronization indicator associated with said ranging session. In accordance with a second aspect of the present disclosure, a corresponding method of operating a communication device is conceived. In accordance with a third aspect of the present disclosure, a computer program is provided for carrying out said method.
