Systems and methods for reducing false radar detection

A method comprising:

• while communicating on a first channel, receiving a set of electromagnetic signals by a computing device;
• calculating a power for each electromagnetic signal of the set of electromagnetic signals by the computing device;
• determining a peak power from the calculated powers by the computing device;
• determining an average power from the calculated powers by the computing device;
• based on the determined average power and the determined peak power, determining whether the set of electromagnetic signals are radar signals by the computing device;
• and
• if it is determined that the set of electromagnetic signals are not radar signals, continuing to communicate on the first channel by the computing device.

A system comprising:

• at least one computing device;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that when executed by the at least one computing device causes the at least one computing device to:
• while communicating on a first channel, receive a set of electromagnetic signals;
• estimate frequencies for the set of electromagnetic signals;
• calculate a variance of the estimated frequencies;
• based on the calculated variance, determine whether the set of electromagnetic signals are radar signals;
• if it is determined that the set of electromagnetic signals are not radar signals, continue to communicate on the first channel;
• and
• if it is determined that the set of electromagnetic signals are radar signals:
• stop communication on the first channel;
• select a second channel;
• and
• communicate on the second channel.
