Abstract: An OFDM radar sensor system having a plurality of transmitting and receiving units. One of the transmitting and receiving units is an OFDM radar sensor, and another of the transmitting and receiving units is a repeater which is configured to modulate a signal generated and transmitted by the OFDM radar sensor and received by the repeater into a signal orthogonal to the signal received by the repeater and to emit the modulated signal. The OFDM radar sensor is configured to separate a portion of a signal received by the OFDM radar sensor, which portion corresponds to the modulated signal, from a monostatic portion of the signal received by the OFDM radar sensor.

Abstract: A radar system which can be used in a vehicle is presented. The radar system has a radar sensor for transmitting and receiving first radar signals and an evaluation device for processing radar signals received by the radar sensor. The radar system also has at least one active radar tag which is configured to retransmit received radar signals, amplified and modulated, as second radar signals, and the evaluation device is configured to determine information about an object both on the basis of components, received by the radar sensor, of the first radar signals reflected at the object and on the basis of components, received by the radar sensor, of the second radar signals reflected at the object.
