The goal of this work is to identify the possible degradations on a Wi-Fi based Passive Radar in the presence of an interferer. We assume that the signal-of-opportunity and the interference are 802.11ax compliant. The mathematical model derived for the interference shows that in a synchronized case, the interference may yield ghost targets. When a more occasional interference scenario is considered, the range/Doppler Map accuracy decreases significantly. Furthermore, numerical results are provided to quantify certain effects of OFDM radar interference on range/Doppler Maps.
