1. A method for adjusting a validation threshold for detecting a marker in an interrogation zone of an electronic surveillance system, comprising the steps of:
- (a.) tracking individual moving averages of background noise in a plurality of operational phase windows;
(b.) tracking a moving variance for each of said moving averages of said background noise in each of said plurality of windows; and
,(c.) continuously adjusting a validation threshold for detecting said marker in said interrogation zone responsive to said moving averages and responsive to said moving variances.

13. A method for adjusting a validation threshold for detecting a marker with a receiver in an interrogation zone of an electronic surveillance system, comprising the steps of:
-
(a.) tracking at least one statistical characteristic of a signal received by said receiver in a plurality of operational phase windows; (b.) tracking a statistical variance for said at least one statistical characteristic of said signal received by said receiver in each of said plurality of windows; and
,(c.) continuously adjusting a validation threshold for detecting said marker in said interrogation zone responsive to said statistical variance. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
