Abstract: This document describes techniques and systems for frequency division multiplexing (FDM) with polyphase shifters. A radar system can include transmitters, receivers, polyphase shifters, and a processor. The transmitters emit electromagnetic (EM) signals in an FDM scheme, and the receivers detect EM signals reflected by objects. The received EM signals include multiple channels. The processor controls the polyphase shifters to introduce phase shifts to the EM signals. The processor can also divide a Doppler-frequency spectrum of the received EM signals into multiple sectors representing a respective frequency range. Each channel is associated with a respective sector. The processor can determine, using non-coherent integration across the sectors, potential detections of the objects, including aliased and actual detections. The processor can then determine the actual detections. In this way, the described FDM techniques with polyphase shifters can resolve Doppler ambiguities in received EM signals.
