Generalized Detector with Adaptive Detection threshold for radar sensors

Radar sensors are an attractive technology for different kinds of applications, especially, in the case of safety driving systems. This research deals with designing the target return signal detection algorithm for radar sensors using the generalized detector (GD) with adaptive detection threshold based on a sliding window technique to estimate the noise power. The general GD structure is introduced, and the proposed method to define the adaptive detection threshold is assumed to be employed by 24 GHz frequency modulation continuous wave (FMCW) radar sensor and the simulation results show the better detection performance in comparison with the cell averaging constant false alarm rate (CA-CFAR) detector one which is widely used by radar sensor systems for car applications.
