Mitigation of radio frequency interference (RFI) is essential to deliver science-ready radio interferometric data to astronomers. In this paper, using dual polarized radio interferometers, we propose to use the polarization information of post-correlation interference signals to detect and mitigate them. We use the directional statistics of the polarized signals as the detection criteria and formulate a distributed, wideband spectrum sensing problem. Using consensus optimization, we solve this in an online manner, working with mini-batches of data. We present extensive results based on simulations to demonstrate the feasibility of our method.
