Abstract:
A frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar system includes an antenna array having C antennas where (C=A+B−1), a first integrated circuit (IC) device including A first sensor inputs, and a second IC device including B second sensor inputs. The first sensor inputs are coupled to a first A of the antennas, and the second sensor inputs are coupled to a last B of the antennas such that a common one of the first sensor inputs and a common one of the second sensor inputs are both coupled to a common antenna. Each IC device receives reflected signals on each sensor input, and mixes the reflected signals to associated baseband signals based upon a local oscillator (LO) signal. Each LO signal has a different phase shift. The LO signals are based upon a common LO signal.
