Abstract
An automotive radar system and method transmit a plurality of radar signals into a region, detect reflected radar signals, and convert the reflected radar signals into digital data signals. A plurality of range-Doppler maps for the region are generated from the digital data signals, and the plurality of range-Doppler maps are averaged to generate an averaged range-Doppler map for the region. Data points in the averaged range-Doppler map are analyzed to detect blobs in the averaged range Doppler map. If a blob is detected in the averaged range-Doppler map, the radar detector is indicated to be unblocked.
