Abstract
A device for a radar sensor is disclosed, the device comprising: transmission circuitry configured to generate transmission signals with a linear frequency chirp modulation in a predetermined frequency band for output to a radar antenna; reception circuitry configured to receive reflection signals corresponding to reflection of the transmitted radar signals from one or more physical objects; and control circuitry configured to select a frequency range within said predetermined frequency band and/or a timing pattern for said transmission signals; wherein said device is configured to: receive a further signal from a further radar sensor; determine, from said further signal, a frequency range and/or timing pattern in use by said further radar sensor for transmission of further transmission signals; and select a frequency range within said predetermined frequency band and/or a timing pattern for said transmission signals which does not conflict with the frequency range and/or timing pattern of said further transmission signals.
