1. An automotive radar system, comprising:
a radar transmitter;
a radar receiver;
a digital signal processor coupled to the radar receiver configured to detect reflections of a signal transmitted by the radar transmitter and configured to derive signal measurements therefrom,
the radar receiver comprising switchable via gates that each block or pass a signal from a respective receive antenna to an input of an analog-to-digital converter; and
wherein at least one of the receive antennas has a narrower beam width than another of the receive antennas.
