Abstract
A radar system is described comprising a transceiver configured to cyclically transmit a first radar signal in a field of view and to cyclically receive a second radar signal from the field of view, and a processing unit configured to process the second radar signal to generate a detection track and detect the presence of a target in the field of view from the detection track. The radar system comprises a marker that can be placed in the field of view and is configured to emit a predetermined reflection signal when impinged upon by said first radar signal and send said predetermined reflection signal to the transceiver. The processing unit is further configured to store a predetermined diagnostic trace, and check whether the predetermined diagnostic track is present in the detection track to thereby determine whether the second radar signal contains the predefined reflection signal and, if not, to indicate a malfunction in the radar system.
