ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus selects the minimum value of a sequence of power measurements taken from each range of a radar's target area. This is preferably performed for two channels of a radar, and the minimum values of both channels for each range are compared to determine the likelihood of a target in each range. Once such likelihood is established, then further processing takes place with regard to ranges with high likelihoods of having targets. The determined minimum value for each range may also be used to normalize each range's power measurements, while preserving phase information, for moving target detection.
