Abstract

A radar system having an arrangement for producing a code, an arrangement for modulating a transmission signal in a transmit branch, using the code, an arrangement for delaying the code, an arrangement for modulating a signal in a receive branch, using the delayed code, and an arrangement for mixing a reference signal with a receiving signal, the modulation of one of the signals being performed by an amplitude modulation (ASK; “amplitude shift keying”) and the modulation of the other signal by a phase modulation (PSK; “phase shift keying”). Furthermore, a radar system is proposed in which blanking of phase transitions is provided. Also described are methods which may advantageously be carried out, using the radar systems described herein.
