The key to the feasibility of spectrum sharing between radar and wireless systems is effective mainlobe interference mitigation processing by the radar. Traditional array processing is capable to cancel sidelobe interferences only. This letter presents an innovative beamforming approach, the first of its kind, to eliminate wireless interference in both mainlobe and sidelobe directions based on a coherent phase-coding multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar platform. The theoretical proof and conditions of simultaneous mainlobe interference cancellation and target detection using coherent MIMO radar are mathematically derived and numerically verified. The simulation results demonstrate the radar can effectively eliminate wireless interferences from base stations and mobile handsets during spectrum-sharing.
