Claim 10:
11. The method of claim 5, wherein the method further comprises:
transmitting, from the radar sensor, a second plurality of radar pulses and, when the object or person is present to reflect the radar pulses, receiving a second corresponding plurality of pulses, the transmitting and receiving comprising:
transmitting a third radar pulse having a third defined pulse duration;
receiving a third reflected radar pulse, wherein the third reflected radar pulse is at least a portion of the third radar pulse that has reflected off of the object or person;
determining, at the radar sensor, whether there is a third pulse overlap between the third radar pulse and the third reflected radar pulse;
selecting a fourth defined pulse duration for a fourth radar pulse based on the determination of the third pulse overlap;
transmitting the fourth radar pulse having the fourth pulse duration;
receiving a fourth reflected radar pulse, wherein the fourth reflected radar pulse is at least a portion of the fourth radar pulse that has reflected off of the object or person; and
determining, at the radar sensor, whether there is a fourth pulse overlap between the fourth radar pulse and the fourth reflected radar pulse; and
determining a range in which the object or person is located based on the determinations of the third pulse overlap and the fourth pulse overlap.
