Abstract

The present disclosure provides a system for processing radar data. The system may comprise a frequency generator configured to generate a reference frequency signal; a timing module configured to generate a shared clock signal or a plurality of timing signals; and a plurality of radar modules in communication with the frequency generator and timing module. The radar modules may be configured to: (i) receive the reference frequency signal and at least one of a shared clock signal and a timing signal, (ii) transmit a first set of radar signals based in part on the reference frequency signal and at least one of the shared clock signal and the timing signal, and (iii) receive a second set of radar signals reflected from a surrounding environment. The system may comprise a processor configured to process radar signals received by each radar module, by coherently combining radar signals using phase and timestamp information.
