Abstract: The invention relates to a method of interference suppression in a radar system (10) and also to a system (10) operating according to the method. The system (10) incorporates a first antenna (40) and associated electronic circuits for emitting interrogating radar radiation towards a remote scene (S). Moreover, the system (10) also incorporates a second antenna (45) and associated electronic circuits for receiving interrogating radiation reflected from the scene (S) and generating correponding first and second processed signals. The first and second processed signals correspond to a broader main beam response of the antenna (45) and to a narrower main beam response thereof respectively. By mutually comparing the first and second processed signals, the system (10) is operable to identify those second processed signals affected by interference from the scene (S).
