A radar system includes a transmitter for transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal or a radar signal and a plurality of receivers. Each receiver receives a plurality of reflected signals created by a plurality of targets reflecting the RF signal or radar signal. The reflected signals include background noise and each of the receivers are separated by a predetermined distance. The radar system also includes a multiple input de-noiser configured to de-noise input signals from the plurality of receivers and to determine a time difference of arrival of the reflected signals between the plurality of receivers. A detection and angular resolution module is configured to determine an angular resolution between the plurality of targets using the time difference of arrival of the reflected signals between the plurality of receivers.

Angular resolution of targets using separate radar receivers

A radar system including a transmit antenna for transmitting a radio frequency (RF) signal or a radar signal and a receive antenna for receiving a plurality of reflected signals created by a plurality of targets reflecting the RF signal or radar signal. The reflected signals include noise. The radar system also includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that digitizes or samples the reflected signals to provide a digitized or sampled noisy input signal. The radar system further includes a reservoir computer that receives the noisy input signal. The reservoir computer includes a time-varying reservoir and is configured to de-noise the noisy input signal and provide a range measurement for each of the plurality of targets.
