Abstract

A radar device including at least three subcircuits, wherein each subcircuit has a cascade input port and a cascade output port and is chained such that the cascade output port of a first subcircuit is connected to the cascade input port of a subsequent subcircuit, the cascade input port of the last subcircuit of the chain is connected to the cascade output port of its preceding subcircuit, and the cascade output port of the last subcircuit of the chain is connectable to an external device, and wherein the at least three subcircuits are configured to conduct a radar computation in a distributed manner such that intermediate results are conveyed towards the last subcircuit of the chain which is configured to combine these results and supply them towards its cascade output port.
