SAF85xx Radar: Real-Time Interference Handling and Object Separation

In this presentation, you will learn how NXP’s Premium Radar Software Development Kit (PR SDK) delivers robust radar interference mitigation across a wide range of automotive scenarios and over the entire product lifecycle. This video demonstrates a 2D interference mitigation algorithm that operates in both time and frequency domains, producing an interference-mitigated Range Fast Fourier Transform (Range FFT) for radar signal clarity. This solution also integrates advanced direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation powered by the CC-Lista machine learning algorithm, enabling highly accurate object separation—even in complex environments.

All algorithms run natively on the SAF85xx one-chip radar system-on-chip (SoC), leveraging the Signal Processing Toolbox (SPT) digital signal processor (DSP) for efficiency. The system generates a 20 frames per second (FPS) point cloud without time aggregation or tracking, allowing developers to integrate custom radar applications with maximum flexibility.
