Abstract

Transmitting-receiving devices, such as within a radar system, can use a clock generator from which various higher-frequency signals are derived. For example, respective transmitting-receiving devices can include high-frequency (HF) generators. The present subject matter concerns a system and a method for providing measurement signals having increased coherence as compared with signals originally transmitted by the transmitting-receiving devices. Such measurement signals can be exchanged for synchronization. Increased coherence can enhance overall system performance, such as to assist in separating returns associated with weaker targets from those associated with stronger targets, or to provide enhanced angular resolution, as illustrative examples.
