Abstract

The work presented in this letter focuses on the time-variant radio frequency interference (RFI) issue in the low-frequency ultra-wideband (UWB) radar. Different from many previous studies, we first analyze the characteristics of RFIs and scattered echoes in the slow-time dimension and take advantage of overlapped short-time Fourier transform to adapt to the time-variant RFIs and update the frequency Doppler spectrum. Then, in the frequency Doppler spectrum, we adopt the minimum statistic combined with 1-D cell-averaging constant false alarm rate to estimate and separate the RFI power spectrum from the scattered echoes based on their differences. Finally, to mitigate the estimated RFIs, a suboptimal filter controlled by the defined entropy of range profiles after math filtering is designed. Employing a UWB radar, different experiments were conducted, and results verify the proposed method.
