A novel radar waveform based on space-frequency coding compatible with directional communication

This paper presents an integration waveform of radar and communication based on the multi-antenna system. The communication data are emitted by utilizing space-frequency coding on the transmit antenna array. By using beamforming technology in the subarray level, wide area detecting as MIMO (multiple-input-multiple-output) radar and directional communication with the cooperative target in the main lobe can be achieved simultaneously. The simulation results confirm that the signal proposed is able to obtain radar detection capacity and reliable communication.
