Abstract
Various technologies described herein pertain to systems and methods for increasing radar resolution by, for example, combining radar information. In one embodiment, beamforming is performed using radar units that are individually coherent but collectively do not need to be coherent. Each radar transmits and receives its own signal to process and generate target information including beamforming information and/or virtual receiver channel information. The target information from each radar is then merged or summed into a combined beamforming based on all the target information received from all the radar units. When the radar units used in this manner are separated by a distance, the resulting beamforming information is representative of an aperture/resolution based on the total space or distance between the radar units. Thus, having an improved resolution, benefits such as improved target resolution (e.g., size, position, and detection) can be achieved.
