Spectrum Sharing Radar: Coexistence via Xampling

We present a Xampling-based technology enabling interference-free operation of radar and communication systems over a common spectrum. Our system uses a recently developed cognitive radio (CRo) to sense the spectrum at low sampling and processing rates. The Xampling-based cognitive radar (CRr) then transmits and receives in the available disjoint narrow bands. Our main contribution is the unification and adaptation of two previous ideas—CRo and CRr—to address spectrum sharing. Hardware implementation shows robust performance at SNRs up to –5 dB.
