The present invention creates several methods for optimizing radar sensors in an efficient manner. The invention operates by placing target objects in a sensor's field of coverage at strategic locations and adjusting the sensor's radar parameters as a function of the sensor target location and performance characteristics of the sensor. These characteristics include bin resolution and spatial constraints.
The proposed methods are suited for a wide variety of uses, including use on production lines. The methods are also appropriate for use in sensor maintenance and recalibration and in the development and validation of sensors.
