Abstract
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.
