Automotive radar is one of the key sensor technologies for active safety and comfort advanced driver assistance systems(ADAS). Vehicles equipped with radar sensors can determine the range, velocity and angle of arrival of multiple targets simultaneously in a highly dynamic environment. At 77 GHz, road infrastructure and buildings are an ever present source of clutter that can affect crucial target detection. Guardrails present a unique clutter challenge due to their ubiquity, proximity to ego
