Abstract

A multi-chip MIMO radar system includes a plurality of transmitters and a plurality of receivers. Each of the pluralities of transmitters and receivers are arranged across a plurality of chips. The multi-chip MIMO radar system is configured to provide an exemplary chip synchronization such that the transmitters and receivers of each chip of the radar system are synchronized with the transmitters and receivers of every other chip of the radar system.
