Abstract
Some demonstrative aspects include radar apparatuses, devices, systems and methods. In one example, an apparatus may include a plurality of Transmit (Tx) antennas to transmit radar Tx signals, and a plurality of Receive (Rx) antennas to receive radar Rx signals. For example, the radar Rx signals may be based on the radar Tx signals. The apparatus may be implemented, for example, as part of a radar device, for example, as part of a vehicle including the radar device. In other aspects, the apparatus may include any other additional or alternative elements and/or may be implemented as part of any other device.
Claims21
An apparatus comprising:
- a Transmit (Tx) antenna array comprising a plurality of Tx antennas, the Tx antenna array comprising a plurality of Tx clusters, a Tx cluster of the plurality of Tx clusters comprising at least three Tx antennas of the plurality of Tx antennas, wherein the plurality of Tx clusters comprises a first Tx cluster, a second Tx cluster, a third Tx cluster, and a fourth Tx cluster, wherein a first Tx-cluster spacing between the first Tx cluster and the second Tx cluster is different from a second Tx-cluster spacing between the second Tx cluster and the third Tx cluster, wherein a third Tx-cluster spacing between the second Tx cluster and the fourth Tx cluster is the same as the first Tx-cluster spacing, and wherein a fourth Tx-cluster spacing between the third Tx cluster and the fourth Tx cluster is different from first Tx-cluster spacing and the third Tx-cluster spacing;
- and
- a Receive (Rx) antenna array comprising a plurality of Rx antennas, the Rx antenna array comprising a plurality of Rx clusters, an Rx cluster of the plurality of Rx clusters comprising at least three Rx antennas of the plurality of Rx antennas, wherein the plurality of Rx clusters comprises a first Rx cluster, a second Rx cluster, and a third Rx cluster, wherein a first Rx-cluster spacing between the first Rx cluster and the second Rx cluster is different from a second Rx-cluster spacing between the second Rx cluster and the third Rx cluster.
