RADAR SYSTEM WITH IMPROVED MULTI-TARGET DISCRIMINATION

摘要

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A includes a plurality of antennas (16) and a controller (26). Each antenna is configured to detect a reflected radar signal (20) reflected by an object in a field-of-view (22) of the system (10). The controller (26) is configured to receive an antenna signal from each antenna corresponding to the reflected radar signal (20) detected by the antenna. The controller (26) is also configured to determine a reflected signal profile (32) of each antenna signal. The controller (26) is also configured to determine a composite data set (34) based on a combination of the reflected signal profiles (32). The controller (26) is also configured to determine if the composite data set (34) includes a composite data point characterized as greater than a composite threshold (36). The controller (26) is also configured to determine if any of the reflected signal profiles (32) indicate that the radar signal (18) is reflected by more than one object.
