Abstract
A first input signal that corresponds to an output transmitted signal of an amplifier of a vehicle radar system is received and a digital threshold signal is transmitted to an input terminal of a digital-to-analog converter. The digital-to-analog converter is configured to generate an analog threshold value that is at least partially determined by a digital threshold value encoded into the digital threshold signal. If it is determined that a magnitude of the first input signal is less than a magnitude of the analog threshold value, a flag signal is transmitted to a system controller. The flag signal is indicative that a power level of the first output signal has fallen below a safety threshold value.
