Abstract

The present disclosure relates to apparatuses and methods for a radar device. For example, an antenna device has a first set of antennas to establish first propagation channels and a second set of antennas to establish second propagation channels. A signal processing device determines a first differential phase shift among first radar signals propagating via the first propagation channels and a second differential phase shift among second radar signals propagating via the second propagation channels. Antennas of the first set are located at positions that generate the first differential phase shift for a first multitude of target angles, and antennas of the second set are located at positions that generate the second differential phase shift for a second multitude of target angles. The processing device determines an angular position of a target object as a unique target angle that is part of the first and second multitude of target angles.
