This paper investigates the impact of rain on performance of 77 GHz radar. The experiments performed in a rain-fog tunnel show radar detections, attributed to rain, at very short ranges for high rain intensities. The theoretical analysis of rain clutter demonstrates a possibility of rain detection by a radar with narrow beam at short ranges.
