1. A multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna for a radar system, said antenna comprising:

  • a receive antenna configured to detect radar signals reflected by a target toward the receive antenna;

    a first transmit antenna formed of a first vertical array of radiator elements; and

    a second transmit antenna formed of a second vertical array of radiator elements distinct from the first vertical array, wherein the second transmit antenna is vertically offset from the first transmit antenna by a vertical offset distance selected so an elevation angle to the target can be determined.
