Abstract
A single transmit multi-receiver modulation radar modulates radar return signals received through an associated receive-signal path with one of a plurality of differing modulation waveforms having low-cross correlation products. Each receive-signal path may be associated with a different receive direction. The differently modulated return signals from each receive-signal path may be combined and correlations may be performed on the combined and differently modulated radar return signals using the modulation waveforms to locate a target. In some embodiments, the trajectory of the target may be extrapolated and the target's source location may be determined.
