Learn how you can use digital beamformers to improve the performance and functions of radar systems. The MATLAB Tech Talk series on radar covered how to use radar to determine range, range rate, and angle of arrival of a target, and even multiple targets. The MATLAB Tech Talk series on the basics of digital beamforming covered how to use sensor arrays with multiple RF chains to have more control over the shape of the beam in ways that maximize signal and minimize interference. Plus, the use of sensor arrays with multiple RF chains also allows for multiple independently steered beams from the same array. So, the question is: What benefits can you get out of having a radar system that has the ability to generate multiple beams of various different shapes? Find out in this tech talk.
