generating radar reception data from radio signals received by a plurality of radar receive antennas;
determining an estimate of an angular position of at least one object by processing the radar reception data;
receiving information about a reference angular position of the at least one object;
determining a compensation value for the radar reception data based on the estimate of the angular position of the at least one object and the reference angular position of the at least one object;
correcting the radar reception data and/or further radar reception data for detection of a further object based on the compensation value; and
providing information about a presence of the further object to a vehicle controller,
wherein the compensation value comprises a plurality of compensation values, and wherein the plurality of compensation values are sequentially determined to first compensate errors on an individual component level and to subsequently compensate errors on a multi-component level.
