Frequency division multiple access in vehicle radar system

A vehicle with a radar system implementing frequency division multiple access (FDMA), the vehicle comprising:

• a plurality of transmit elements of the radar system, each of the plurality of transmit elements is configured to transmit a chirp signal simultaneously, the chirp signal transmitted by each of the plurality of transmit elements increasing or decreasing linearly in frequency over a frequency range over a duration of time and the frequency range of the chirp signal transmitted by adjacent ones of the plurality of transmit elements partially overlapping;
• and
• a controller configured to process a reflection received by a receive element of the radar system based on reflection of the chirp signal transmitted by the plurality of transmit elements by one or more objects and to control an operation of the vehicle based on locating the one or more objects.
