System and method for verifying a radar detection
First Claim
1. A method of verifying a radar detection, comprising:
- transmitting a plurality of RF signals;
receiving a plurality of composite signals associated with a respective plurality of receive beams;
generating a respective detection state value associated with each one of the receive beams, wherein each one of the detection state values is equal to a selected one of a first state value and a second state value, wherein the first state value is indicative of a detection;
for each of the detection state values equal to the first state value, generating a respective detection range value;
selecting one of the detection state values equal to the first state value;
verifying the selected detection state value to provide one of a positive verification and a negative verification associated with the selected detection state value; and
setting the selected detection state value to be equal to the second state value in response to a negative verification.

Abstract
The method and system provide provisions for generating a respective detection state value associated with each of a plurality of RF receive beams. A first state value is indicative of a detection. The method and system further provide provisions, for each of the detection state values equal to the first state value, for generating a respective detection range value. The method and system further provide provisions for selecting one of the detection state values equal to the first state value and verifying the selected detection state value to provide one of a positive verification and a negative verification associated with the selected detection state value. The method and system further provide provisions for setting the selected detection state value to be equal to the second state value in response to a negative verification.
