1. A method for determining a detection threshold of a radar suited to a given environment, wherein the method comprises:
selecting a set of statistical quantities characterizing said environment;
defining a set of functions, each of said functions giving an intermediate detection threshold that is a function of statistical quantities taken from a subset of said set of statistical quantities;
combining said intermediate detection thresholds to determine the detection threshold suited to said environment, said detection threshold being the result of said combination; and
using said detection threshold by the radar for comparison against received signals;
wherein the number of statistical quantities contained in said set of statistical quantities is strictly greater than two.
