A radar system includes first, second, and third transmitter branches. The first transmitter branch transmits a first frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) signal having a first set of chirps having a first phase setting such that phase values of consecutive chirps differ by a first phase difference. The second transmitter branch transmits a second FMCW signal having a second set of chirps having a second phase setting such that phase values of consecutive chirps differ by a second phase difference. The third transmitter branch transmits a third FMCW signal having a third set of chirps having a third phase setting such that phase values of consecutive chirps differ by a third phase difference. The first phase difference, the second phase difference, and the third phase difference are different phase differences. The first phase difference, the second phase difference, and the third phase difference are asymmetrically distributed relative to each other.
