Patent ID: 8032087

Claim:
A method of detecting potential interference of at least a radar signal in an incoming signal received by a wireless communication system, said radar signal being a pulse train defined by a pulse repetition period, called radar period, and by a pulse duration, this method comprising the steps of: obtaining a measurement of said incoming signal during a measurement duration proportional to a known pulse duration of a known radar signal; performing a first comparison between said measurement and a first threshold; counting the number of measurements exceeding said first threshold to generate a first count; performing a second comparison between said measurement and a second threshold if said measurement exceeds said first threshold, said second threshold being greater than said first threshold, if said measurement exceeds said first and second thresholds, performing conditionally an intermediate test to check if the incoming signal corresponds to a radar signal or to an unknown signal by using at least said first and second counts, and if the incoming signal corresponds to a radar signal, performing a final test to identify the radar signal among a plurality of known radar signals.
