Abstract

A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna (520) for a radar system includes a receive antenna (520), a first transmit-antenna-arrangement (822), and a second transmit-antenna-arrangement (824). The receive-antenna (120) is configured to detect radar-signals (920) reflected by a target toward the receive-antenna (120). The first transmit-antenna-arrangement (822) includes a first vertical-array (870) of radiator elements (136) and a second vertical-array (872) of radiator elements (136). The first transmit-antenna-arrangement (822) is configured so the first vertical-array (870) can be selectively coupled to a transmitter (910) independent of the second vertical-array (872). The second transmit-antenna-arrangement (824) includes a third vertical-array (874) of radiator elements (136) and a fourth vertical-array (876) of radiator elements (136). The second transmit-antenna-arrangement (824) is configured so the third vertical-array (874) can be selectively coupled to a transmitter (910) independent of the fourth vertical-array (876). The second transmit-antenna-arrangement (824) is vertically offset from the first transmit-antenna-arrangement (822) by a vertical offset distance (126) selected so an elevation angle to the target can be determined by the receive-antenna (120).
