Abstract

A system having an array of antennas with particular weights for signals associated with different groups of antennas. The array of antennas includes a first group of antennas positioned in a middle portion of the array of antennas, a second group of antennas positions at one or more edges of the array of antennas, and a third group of antennas positioned at one or more corners of the array of antennas. The system includes a control module configured to control each respective and tenant in the array of antennas. The control module can further be configured to weight the first group of antennas a first weighting amount, to weight the second group of antennas a second weighting amount and to weight the third group of antennas a third weighting amount. The weighting improves the system's ability to reduce ambiguities in an angle of arrival associated with the object.
