Abstract
In described examples, a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar system includes an FMCW signal generator, a number N transmitters, N phase shifters, multiple receivers, and a processor. The FMCW signal generator is configured to generate FMCW chirps. Different ones of the phase shifters have different respective base phase shifts selected in response to N. The transmitter is configured to transmit the phase shifted FMCW chirps. The receivers are configured to receive an FMCW chirp reflected by an object in range of the FMCW radar system. The processor is configured to determine a location of the object in range in response to the received FMCW chirp.
