Abstract
Some demonstrative aspects include radar apparatuses, devices, systems and methods. In one example, a radar system may include a plurality of radar devices. For example, a radar device may include one or more Transmit (Tx) antennas to transmit radar Tx signals, one or more Receive (Rx) antennas to receive radar Rx signals, and a processor to generate radar information based on the radar Rx signals. In one example, the radar system may be implemented as part of a vehicle. In other aspects, the radar system may include any other additional or alternative elements and/or may be implemented as part of any other device or system.
Claims29
A radar device comprising:
