Abstract
A radar system includes a transmitter, a receiver and a processor. The receiver receives radio signal that includes the transmitted radio signal reflected from targets in the environment. The received radio signal is provided to the processor. The processor samples the received radio signal during a plurality of time intervals to produce a sampled stream. The different time intervals of the plurality of time intervals will contain different signal levels of radio signals reflected from the targets. The processor also selects a particular time interval of the plurality of time intervals that is free of samples of radio signals reflected off of the targets that are closer than a first threshold distance from an equipped vehicle. The transmitter and/or the receiver is adjusted such that samples of radio signals reflected off of targets that are farther than the first threshold distance are detected.
