Abstract
Examples disclosed herein relate to a radar system for object identification. The radar system transmitting an azimuth fan beam and incrementing elevation of the beam. The radar system may include a transmit antenna and a receive antenna, each having a plurality of antenna elements arranged in rows and columns. The radar system may include a transceiver coupled to the transmit antenna and the receive antenna, the transceiver configured to control transmit beams having an azimuth fan beam, or an elevation fan beam. The radar system may include a processing unit. In various embodiments, the processing unit may include a digital processing unit; a range Doppler mapping module; and an azimuth detection module coupled to the transceiver. The azimuth detection module may be configured to process received signals and identify an azimuth angle of arrival by correlating signals received at antenna elements in rows of the receive antenna.
