Claim 14:
15. A method for determining direction information for a target object in a radar system for a vehicle, the method comprising:
providing a first detection information by at least two receive antennas of the radar system, the first detection information being specific for a first radar signal transmitted by a first transmit antenna of the radar system;
providing second detection information by the at least two receive antennas of the radar system, the second detection information being specific for a second radar signal transmitted by a second transmit antenna of the radar system;
performing a first angle determination from the first and second detection information to determine a first angle information therefrom, so that the first angle information is specific for the first and second radar signal; and
performing a second angle determination from the first or second detection information to determine a second angle information therefrom, so that the second angle information is specific for one of the radar signals,
wherein the first angle determination is carried out using a MIMO method and the second angle determination is carried out using a SIMO method.
