RADAR SYSTEM WITH INTEGRATED COMMUNICATION FUNCTIONALITY

摘要

? A radar system with integrated communication functionality. The radar system implements a radar-communication modulation scheme that uses at least the rising edge portion and the falling edge portion of each period of the waveform of a radar signal as a radar cycle, while using the constant-frequency portion of each period as a radio cycle during which the radar signal may be modulated with a data signal. This combined sensing (radar) and communication (radio) functionality is indispensable to the development of future radar systems, for example in the field of future intelligent vehicles.
