A radar device may include a memory to store a program associated with operating the radar device. The radar device may include a decoder to read the program from the memory, and generate a control value and a timestamp based at least in part on the program. The control value may be a value to be provided as an input to a component of the radar device at a time indicated by the timestamp. The radar device may include a first-in first-out (FIFO) buffer to store at least the control value and provide the control value as the input to the component of the radar device at the time indicated by the timestamp.
