Abstract
A method of operating a radar system includes transmitting a plurality of transmitted radio frequency (RF) signals by a plurality of directional antennas. The plurality of directional antennas is disposed on a planar surface of a substrate. Each of the plurality of antennas is in a fixed orientation and position on the planar surface. A respective individual coverage of each of the plurality of directional antennas is less than 360°. A combined coverage of the plurality of transmitted RF signals completely covers a 360° region surrounding the radar system. The method also includes receiving a reflected RF signal by a directional antenna of the plurality of directional antennas.
