A vehicle radar system includes a processing system which operates in one of a plurality of operating modes which are selected based upon an environment (or changes to an environment) surrounding the vehicle radar system. In one exemplary embodiment, the vehicle radar system is provided as a vehicle radar system which operates in one of: a highway traffic mode and a city traffic mode depending upon whether a vehicle in which the vehicle radar system is disposed is traveling along a highway or through a city.

Vehicle radar system having multiple operating modes

A radar system having a transmit signal path and a receive signal path and an event generator which is responsive to command signals provided by a digital signal processor (DSP) is described. The DSP generates command signals and provides the command signals to the event generator. In response to the command signals, the event generator generates event signals in the radar system. The event signals include but are not limited to ramp control signals provided to a controllable signal source which provide RF signals to the transmit path of the radar.
