Claim 8:
9. The method according to claim 8,
starting from a preceding spatial arrangement of the transmitters and of the receivers geometric folding or geometric projection is carried out, and a virtual array is generated therefrom, and that element of the virtual array is identified as a double-assigned virtual element to which both at least one received signal of the at least one second transmission signal which is received by at least one of the receivers is applied, and at least one received signal of one of the two other respective at least one transmission signals which is received by at least one other of the receivers is applied,
a difference is formed between the phase of one of the complex-valued amplitudes of that receiver which does not use the second transmission signal of the second transmitter-to form the double-assigned virtual element, wherein this complex-valued amplitude corresponds in priority to one of the two amplitudes from which the higher of the first two comparison values is formed, in the combined consideration of the receivers, and
the phase of one complex-valued amplitude or the mean value of the two complex-valued amplitudes, of that receiver which leads to the double-assigned virtual element in which the second transmitter is involved and the absolute value of this difference is assigned to a third comparison value,
and a difference is formed between the phase of the other of the complex-valued amplitudes-of that receiver which does not use the second transmission signal of the second transmitter to form the double-assigned virtual element, wherein this other complex-valued amplitude corresponds in priority to the other of the two amplitudes in the combined consideration of the receivers, from which amplitudes the higher of the first two comparison values is formed, and
the phase of one complex-valued amplitude or the mean value of the two complex-valued amplitudes, of that receiver which leads to the double-assigned virtual element in which the second transmitter is involved and the absolute value of this difference is assigned to a fourth comparison value,
the third comparison value and the fourth comparison value are compared, and the signal which is associated with the cells from whose amplitudes the lower of the two comparison values is formed is validated as the target signal for the same target object which originates from the at least one third transmission signal, and the signal which is associated with the cells from whose amplitudes the higher of the two comparison values is formed is validated as the target signal for the same target object which originates from the at least one first transmission signal.
