Abstract:
A method for a radar system is described. In accordance with one example implementation, the method comprises generating a frequency-modulated RF oscillator signal and feeding the RF oscillator signal to a first transmitting channel and a second transmitting channel. The method further comprises generating a first RF transmission signal in the first transmitting channel based on the RF oscillator signal, emitting the first RF transmission signal via a first transmitting antenna, receiving a first RF radar signal via a receiving antenna, and converting the first RF radar signal to a baseband, as a result of which a first baseband signal is obtained, which has a first signal component having a first frequency and a first phase, where the first signal component is assignable to direct crosstalk from the first transmitting antenna. This procedure is repeated for the second transmitting channel.
