Abstract

A radar signal sending method and a device provides for the sending of the radar signal to cooperative radars. A first time domain range in L time domain ranges is determined. A first radar signal is sent in the first time domain range. Any one of the L time domain ranges partially overlaps at least one of the other (L−1) time domain ranges, and an absolute value of a difference between time domain start locations of any two of the L time domain ranges is greater than or equal to a first threshold and less than or equal to a second threshold.
