Abstract
System and methods are provided which involve a radar system that includes one or more signal generators configured for generating a composite radar waveform formed by combining different component waveforms; and a detector for detecting reflected signals from the composite waveform and determining velocity and distance measurements of a target relative to a host vehicle. Advantageously, the first and second component waveforms are selected such that the composite waveform is able to meet two different sets of resolution requirements with respect to at least one of: (i) the velocity measurement of the target vehicle relative to the host vehicle and (ii) the distance measurement of a target vehicle relative to the host vehicle. Notably, each of the different sets of resolution requirements is pre-selected based on a different type of detection scenario.
