Abstract
A method for synchronizing a cascaded RADAR system () includes modulating () with a master RADAR system (), an amplitude of a sequence of clock cycles of a clock () in response to a Ramp Frame Start (RFS) signal (). The master RADAR system determines () a duration () of the sequence of clock cycles based on a code. A slave RADAR system () demodulates () the sequence of clock cycles to recover the clock and the RFS signal, wherein a clock leading edge of the clock is phase aligned to an RFS leading edge of the RFS signal. The slave RADAR system decodes () the code from the duration of the sequence of clock cycles, wherein the code determines an action performed by the slave RADAR system in response to receiving a data signal from the master RADAR system.
