According to a further example implementation, the method comprises measuring magnitude response information relating to an analog baseband signal processing chain of a reception channel of a radar system, determining—based on the measured magnitude response information—at least one value which characterizes at least one frequency limit of the first baseband signal processing chain, and determining a phase response for the baseband signal processing chain based on the at least one value and a model of the baseband signal processing chain. The method also comprises digitizing an output signal from the baseband signal processing chain and digitally processing the digitized output signal, wherein phase equalizing is carried out based on the determined phase response during normal radar operation of the radar system.

A method of configuring a radar monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) and executing configured commands includes receiving and storing a plurality of configuration commands corresponding to unique time-dependent functions, each configuration command corresponding to a different one of the unique time-dependent functions; generating a unique command handle for each configuration command; transmitting the unique command handle for each configuration command to a controller; receiving and storing a bundled configuration command comprising a plurality of unique command handles corresponding to a set of configuration commands; generating a unique bundled command handle for the bundled configuration command; transmitting the unique bundled command handle to the controller; and receiving an execute command that includes the unique bundled command handle, where the execute command triggers execution of an execution flow of the unique time-dependent functions corresponding to the set of configuration commands associated with the unique bundled command handle.
