Abstract:
A method and system involve obtaining reflected signals in a radar system using a first one-dimensional array of antenna elements and a second one-dimensional array of antenna elements. The reflected signals result from reflection of transmitted signals from the radar system by one or more objects. The method includes processing the reflected signals obtained using the first one-dimensional array of antenna elements to obtain a first array of angle of arrival likelihood values in a first plane, and processing the reflected signals obtained using the second one-dimensional array of antenna elements to obtain a second array of angle of arrival likelihood values. A four-dimensional image indicating a range, relative range rate, the first angle of arrival, and the second angle of arrival for each of the one or more objects is obtained.
