However, radar-to-radar interference suppression is a major problem in distributed radar sensor networks. In this paper, we present a cross-matched filtering-based radar-to-radar interference suppression algorithm. This algorithm first uses an iterative filtering algorithm to suppress the radar-to-radar interferences and, then, separately matched filtering for each radar. Besides the detailed algorithm derivation, extensive numerical simulation examples are performed with the down-chirp and up-chirp waveforms, partially overlapped or inverse chirp rate linearly frequency modulation (LFM) waveforms and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (ODFM) chirp diverse waveforms. The effectiveness of the algorithm is verified by the simulation results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs6010740","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,9]],"date-time":"2014-01-09T14:10:57Z","timestamp":1389276657000},"page":"740-755","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Radar-to-Radar Interference Suppression for Distributed Radar Sensor Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Wen-Qin","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Communication and Information Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Huaizong","family":"Shao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Communication and Information Engineering, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu 611731, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,1,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"950","DOI":"10.1109\/JSAC.2010.100820","article-title":"Collaborative mobile target imaging in UWB wireless radar sensor networks","volume":"28","author":"Arik","year":"2010","journal-title":"IEEE J.
