Abstract
A radar detection system and method include a radar detector for transmitting radar signals over a plurality of sweeps, detecting reflected returning radar signals for the sweeps, and converting the reflected returning radar signals into digital data signals, which are processed to by a time-averaging approach by which data for each of a plurality of range-plus-velocity (RV) bins is analyzed over multiple sweeps to detect a first clutter object at particular RV value and an RV-averaging approach by which data for a plurality of RV values within each sweep are combined to form RV averages for each sweep and the RV averages for a plurality of sweeps are analyzed over multiple sweeps to detect a second clutter object. The processor indicates that the radar detector is not blocked if the time-averaging approach or the RV averaging approach results in at least one of the clutter objects being detected.
