Radar systems are disclosed that include a signal generator, an antenna, a switching circuit, an I/Q sampling and signal-demodulation (demodulation) processor, and a FFT processor. The signal generator produces energization signals. The antenna has multiple individual antenna elements. The switching circuit is configured to deliver the energization signals to a selected antenna element at a respective moment in time to cause the selected antenna element to transmit a respective radar signal in response to the energization signal. At least one element receives a corresponding return-radar signal before the switching circuit selects a next antenna element to transmit a respective radar signal. The demodulation processor receives the return-radar signals from the antenna elements and demodulates the return-radar signals. The FFT processor fast-Fourier transforms the return-radar signals. The system can include a magnitude processor that determines, from the Fourier transforms, respective magnitudes of the return signals in at least one data plane. The system also can include an imager.
