Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 14:
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable code, which, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to:
identify phase centers of an antenna architecture of a radar system to obtain a virtual element array;
modulate a first portion of a chirp in a chirp frame according to a first phase;
modulate a second portion of the chirp in the chirp frame according to a second phase;
combine the first and second portions of the chirp to produce a phase-modified chirp; and
instruct a set of transmitters of the radar system to transmit the phase-modified chirp by applying time division multiple access (TDMA) based on the phase centers and by directing radio frequency energy according to a target angle and a target gain according to the virtual element array.
