    Abstract: A radar sensor system comprises a first radar sensor and at least a second radar sensor and one or more processors configured to assign different pulse rate intervals (PRI) to the first radar sensor and the second radar sensor. The processor(s)s are further configured to: receive ambiguous velocity estimates from the first and second radar sensors, respectively; determine maximum detectable velocity (Vmax) values for the first and second radar sensors based on their respective PRIs; generate a first velocity vector for the first radar sensor based on the first Vmax and the first ambiguous velocity estimate; generate a second velocity vector for the second radar sensor based on the second Vmax and the second ambiguous velocity estimate; compare velocity values in the first and second velocity vectors; and identify and output a velocity value common to the first and second velocity vectors as a correct unambiguous velocity of the object.

    Abstract: Example embodiments described herein involve determining three dimensional data representative of an environment for an autonomous vehicle using radar. An example embodiment involves receiving radar reflection signals at a radar unit coupled to a vehicle and determining an azimuth angle and a distance for surfaces in the environment causing the radar reflection signals. The embodiment further involves determining an elevation angle for the surfaces causing the radar reflection signals based on phase information of the radar reflection signals and controlling the vehicle based at least in part on the azimuth angle, the distance, and the elevation angle for the surfaces causing the plurality of radar reflection signals. In some instances, the radar unit is configured to receive radar reflection signals using a staggered linear array with one or multiple radiating elements offset in the array.
