Abstract
A signal processing module for use with a receiver for receiving echoes of an emitted signal. The signal processing module comprises sensing logic for sensing presence of a being or object in a space using echoes of the signal as reflected from the being or object, wherein the echoes are received with an associated frequency band. The signal processing module further comprises control logic for detecting disturbance having potential to compromise said sensing, wherein the signal processing module is configured to detect this disturbance by listening for an unwanted signal in a region of the spectrum outside the frequency band of the echoes, and to adapt the sensing in dependence on the detected disturbance.
