Abstract: A radar system utilizing a linear chirp that can achieve a larger MIMO virtual array than traditional systems is provided. Transmit channels transmit distinct chirp signals in an overlapped fashion such that the pulse repetition interval is kept short and the frame is kept short. This alleviates range migration and aids in achieving a high frame update rate. The chirp signals from differing transmitters can be separated on receive in the range spectrum domain, such that a MIMO virtual array construction is possible. Distinct chirps are delayed versions of the first chirp signal. Chirps overlap in the fast-time domain, but due to delay, there is separation in the range spectrum domain. When the delay is at least the instrument round-trip delay, transmitters are separable. Further, the wavelengths are identical across transmitters such that there is no residual-range versus angle ambiguity issue present in the claimed frequency-offset modulation range division MIMO system.
