OFDM chirp waveform diversity for co-designed radar-communication system

Co-designed radar-communication is becoming necessary, but there is a challenge to design suitable waveforms that can be simultaneously employed for information transmission and radar applications. This paper introduces the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) chirp radar waveform by embedding communication codes for co-designed radar-communication system from a top-level system description. Several implementation issues are also discussed. The object is to call for more investigations on this topic in wireless communication community.
