The radar will likely use Gold codes or another sequence with strong autocorrelation properties to reject any signals other than its own reflected beam. It generally won't be a problem.

This is incorrect. Wifi systems that don't comply with DFS show up brightly on the radar display. Here's an example from a real-world system of what a misbehaving 5 GHz AP looks like:

The FCC has a list of WISP companies they've gone after for misconfiguring their wireless equipment:

Interesting, I'm genuinely surprised that's necessary. WiFi looks like white noise, and should be more or less trivial for a radar to reject.

If removing “noise” was trivial, we would all have perfect radios.

[jamiek88]

What makes you think that would be trivial?

[CamperBob2]

Years of engineering experience in RF and DSP applications.

A radar that can be jammed by a WiFi access point amounts to an HR failure at the company that made it.

[Dylan16807]

It's not jammed, it's dealing with a high noise floor and a weak signal.

You can only do so much to identify your own signal when it's smeared over a trillion water droplets.

[jamiek88]

I think you’ve misunderstood what we are talking about.

This isn’t jamming.

If it was trivial to identify signals from high noise situations all our radios would be perfect.
