Abstract

This invention concerns a procedure for the elimination of interferences, such as pulses and linear chirps, in a radar unit of the FMCW type. According to the procedure, the useable signal in the form of a beat signal, is subjected to time-frequency division of the type STFT for division of the signal into narrow-band frequency bands. Interference is detected and eliminated in each frequency band, after which the time signal freed from interference and its Discrete Fourier Transform, DFT, are calculated from the time-frequency division in narrow-band frequency bands.
