Abstract: An automotive detection system includes a first sensor which transmits first transmitted signals into a region and receives first reflected signals and generates first receive signals. A second sensor transmits second transmitted signals into the region and receives second reflected signals and generates second receive signals. A processor: receives first portions of the first and second receive signals and processes the first portions to generate a relative misalignment angle related to misalignment of the first and second sensors relative to each other; receives a second portion of the first receive signals; uses the received second portion of the first receive signals to determining an absolute misalignment angle of the first sensor independent of an absolute misalignment angle of the second sensor; and uses the relative misalignment angle and the absolute misalignment angle of the first sensor to generate the absolute misalignment angle of the second sensor.
