4 Localization and Interference Mitigation

In many cases, it is impossible to avoid the crossing interferers. As shown in Section 2.3.1, crossing interference without any treatment can increase the noise floor and blind the weaker targets. This section describes the methods to reduce the system degradation by localization followed by mitigation. Localization refers to the process of finding which samples in a chirp are affected by interference.
