Patent attributes
A radar system is described that comprises a transmitter, a receiver, a spillover cancellation unit, and a combiner. The transmitter transmits radio signals. The receiver receives interfering signals due to local signal coupling of transmitted signals. The local signal coupling comprises at least one interfering path or mechanism. The spillover cancellation unit is configured to output a replica of each of the interfering signals. Each replica is configured to replicate a particular interfering signal received through a particular interfering path or mechanism. The combiner is configured to combine into a signal path of the receiver, a replica of an interfering signal to subtract the interfering signal from the receiver's signal path. The receiver receives the transmitted radio signals reflected from objects in the environment without saturating the signal path of the receiver due to the subtraction of the interfering signal from the receiver's signal path.
