Joint Radar & Communication Waveforms

Conventionally radar sensing and communications require separate hardware on surveillance platforms, which adds complexity and latency. Data-encoded waveforms use waveform diversity or modulated pulses to carry additional information. A Dual-functional Radar Communication (DFRC) scheme is where arbitrary communication info is encoded in pulse shapes rather than sent over a dedicated communication link. Phase I is to design chirp/phase-modulated schemes that encode additional information into a r...
