Abstract
A method for the model-based, high-resolution separation of radar targets for a radar sensor, in which the radar sensor initially generates radar data by capturing radar targets by sampling a field of view of the radar sensor. Various model orders are calculated for the number of radar targets with the aid of a grid-based method and are interleaved in one another. A highest model order is specified, and only the highest model order is calculated, so that the lower model calculations are implicitly produced from the calculation of the highest model order.

A method for separation of radar targets for a radar sensor comprising:
- generating radar data by capturing radar targets by sampling a field of view of the radar sensor;
- calculating various model orders for a number of radar targets with a grid-based method, wherein the model orders are interleaved in one another;
- specifying a highest model order;
- and
- calculating the highest model order only, wherein results for the lower model orders are produced as partial results of the calculation for the highest model order.
A radar sensor for detecting objects for a motor vehicle, which can capture objects in its field of view with the aid of radar targets, wherein the captured radar targets are separated by:
- calculating various model orders for a number of the radar targets with a grid-based method, wherein the model orders are interleaved in one another;
- specifying a highest model order;
- and
- calculating the highest model order only, wherein results for the lower model orders are produced as partial results of the calculation for the highest model order.
