Radar transmit bandwidth augmentation
Various technologies pertaining to forming a very high instantaneous bandwidth (IBW) radar signal based upon several radio frequency (RF) signals that have sub-bands of the frequency band of the radar signal are described herein. A radar system is configured to address local oscillator leakage across multiple transmit channels of the radar system, such that the radar signal has a relatively constant or other desired amplitude and phase across frequencies of the radar signal. In addition, the radar system is configured to compute a correction signal that pre-distorts each of the sub-frequency channels such that upon combining enables the generation of desired amplitude and phase response across a transmitted pulse.
