A Conception of Common Data Link Based Radar Sensor

The Active Electronic Scanned Array (AESA) radar has high gain and wide frequency band. It makes radar sensor available to develop communication capability, forming a special wide band data link, Radar Common Data Link(R CDL). This paper analyzes the feasibility of constructing R CDL. It depicts that Radar has communication ability where only the software section of the Radar system needs to be modified, and then shows the system architecture and link model.
