Abstract: This document describes techniques, apparatuses, and systems for multi-channel joint interference mitigation. Radar radiation received by a radar system may include interference from other nearby radar systems. The interference can result in reduced sensitivity of the radar system. The techniques, apparatuses, and systems described herein mitigate the interference by identifying a set of samples of the radar radiation with interference. The interference can be estimated and mitigated by comparing this set (e.g., with interference) to a set of samples without interference and suppressing the interference without suppressing the detected signal. Further, the interference can be analyzed to determine if the interference contains detection information of one or more objects (e.g., other vehicles with radar systems causing interference). In this manner, interference mitigation may be obtained without losing information included in the set of samples including interference.
