Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward apparatuses and/or methods involving the communication of radar signals. Certain aspects involve communicating time division multiplexing (TDM) multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar signals, having pulses with a chirp interval time (CIT) that is different for respective chirps. Positional characteristics of a target may be ascertained based upon both the CIT between each chirp in the communicated radar signals and the time between each corresponding chirp in received ones of the signals reflected by the target. Communication of the radar signals may involve utilizing a combination of antennas to provide a virtual aperture.
