Abstract
Techniques and apparatuses are described that implement a distributed radar system. The distributed radar system includes two or more radar front-end circuits and at least one processor. The radar front-end circuits are distributed within a device at different positions. By partitioning antennas and transceivers across multiple radar front-end circuits instead of consolidating into a single integrated circuit, individual radar front-end circuits can have a smaller footprint than the single integrated circuit. This smaller footprint enables the radar front-end circuits to be integrated within space-constrained devices. The smaller footprint also provides additional flexibility in positioning the radar front-end circuits away from other components within the device that can cause interference. This can reduce the amount of interference seen by the distributed radar system.
