Radar-Communication Integration Based on OFDM Signal

As the volume of the electronic platform growing with the increase of their functions. It has great significance to utilize single form of signal to realize multiple functions. Since the multicarrier waveform has been widely used in communication and also show good performances in radar, this paper put forward an integrated radar and communication signal based on the OFDM. How to achieve the transmitter and how to transmit the communication data are discussed afterwards. The ambiguity function of the integrated signal is worked out to analysis the characteristics in detail, especially how the random digital sequence affect the radar performance. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the integrated signal can satisfy conventional radar detection and have good communication performance.
