Abstract: A frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar system in which the patterns of chirp pairs for master and slave radar devices are selected such that when one of the chirps in a chirp pair A, B from the master coincides in time with one of the chirps in a chirp pair C, D from the slave, the other chirps in those pairs do not coincide in time. A first pattern of time slots from the master radar device contains first and second FMCW chirps A and B and a plurality of chirp free slots N1-N4. A second pattern of time slots from a slave radar device contains first and second FMCW chirps C, D and a plurality of chirp free slots M1-M6.
