Abstract
A method for detecting at least one radar transmitter in an environment, the method being implemented by a device including a calculating unit and an antenna array including at least one antenna able to make acquisitions of the environment as acquisition signals and to receive and transmit the acquisition signals in a digital form to the calculating unit, the calculating unit being able to make processing on digitised signals, the method including receiving and digitising the acquisition signals as digitised signals and transmitting the digitised signals to the calculating unit; cutting off the digitised signals into pulses, characterising each pulse to obtain primary characteristics and secondary characteristics; gathering the pulses into pulse blocks.

A method for detecting at least one radar in an environment, the method being implemented by a device including a calculating unit and an antenna array including at least one antenna adapted to make acquisitions of the environment as acquisition signals and to receive and transmit the acquisition signals in a digital form to the calculating unit, the calculating unit being adapted to make processing on digitised signals, the method comprising:
- receiving and digitising the acquisition signals as digitised signals and transmitting the digitised signals to the calculating unit;
- cutting off the digitised signals into pulses, characterising each pulse to obtain primary characteristics and secondary characteristics;
- gathering the pulses into pulse blocks;
- for each pulse block:
- gathering the pulses as a function of their primary characteristics to produce primary groups;
- for each primary group:
- calculating primary characteristics of primary groups as a function of the primary characteristics of the pulses gathered in the primary group;
- gathering the primary groups as a function of the primary characteristics of primary groups to produce secondary groups;
- gathering the secondary groups as a function of secondary characteristics of the pulses gathered in each secondary group to produce tertiary groups;
- detecting at least one radar, each tertiary group being considered as a radar or a radar mode.
