A radar device comprises antennas, transceiver circuitry, and processing circuitry operable to direct the transceiver circuitry to, during an object detection mode, transmit a first set of radar signals and receive a second set of radar signals using a first subset of the antennas, such that the first subset of the antennas is determined based on an amount of power consumed by the radar device during activation of the first subset of the antennas. In response to detecting an object, the processing circuitry is further operable to direct the transceiver circuitry to transition to a direction detection mode and to use a second subset of the antennas to transmit a third set of radar signals and receive a fourth set of radar signals. The number of antennas in the second subset of the antennas is greater than the number of antennas in the first subset of the antennas.
A radar device comprising:
A method comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having program instructions stored thereon is configured to be executable by processing circuitry, wherein the program instructions, when executed by the processing circuitry, cause the processing circuitry to:
