A method of configuring a radar monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) and executing commands of an activated downloadable programming context is provided. The method includes receiving and storing a plurality of downloadable programming contexts that are sequentially received from an external controller, where each subsequent downloadable programming context received from the external controller is stored in a different random-access memory (RAM) partition of the radar MMIC than a RAM partition of the radar MMIC used to store a most-recent downloadable programming context received from the external controller; sequentially activating and deactivating the plurality of downloadable programming contexts according to a context execution sequence; executing the commands of an activated downloadable programming context stored in a corresponding RAM partition; and downloading a next downloadable programming context prior to a time slot in the context execution sequence that is assigned to the next downloadable programming context.
