Claim 0:
1. A radar system for determining a distance to another radar system, the radar system comprising:
a transceiver adapted to transmit a first Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar signal, which comprises a first sweep profile, wherein the transceiver is further adapted to receive a second FMCW radar signal from another radar system, which comprises a second sweep profile, and wherein the first sweep profile of the first FMCW radar signal differs from the second sweep profile of the second FMCW radar signal;
a mixer adapted to generate a beat signal based on the first FMCW radar signal and the second FMCW radar signal;
an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), wherein the ADC is arranged downstream of the mixer and adapted to digitize the beat signal;
a deskewing unit adapted to deskew the digitized beat signal by matching the sweep profile of the first FMCW radar signal with the sweep profile of the second FMCW radar signal; and,
a processing unit, which is adapted to determine the distance to the other radar system by processing the deskewed beat signal.
