A method for operating an angle resolving radar device for automotive applications comprises: routing first and second antenna signals between a radar circuit and an antenna device; transducing, with a first antenna comprising a first set of antenna elements, between the first antenna signal and a first radiation field, the first radiation field having a first phase center; transducing, with a second antenna comprising a second set of antenna elements, between the second antenna signal and a second radiation field, the second radiation field having a second phase center with a location shifted with respect to a location of the first phase center, the first set of antenna elements and the second set of antenna elements sharing one or more common antenna elements; and constructing an angle resolving virtual antenna array using the locations of the first and second phase centers as first and second antenna positions, respectively.
