Spectrally efficient radar systems in the L and S bands

Abstract

This report was commissioned by Ofcom to provide an independent view on issues relevant to its duties as regulator for the UK communication industry, for example issues of future technology or efficient use of the radio spectrum in the United Kingdom. The assumptions, conclusions and recommendations expressed in this report are entirely those of the contractors and should not be attributed to Ofcom.

Joint radar-communications performance bounds: Data versus estimation information rates

“…CW radars are simplistic in design and can be highly accurate. They also can potentially reduce the required radar bandwidth significantly [28]. CW radars can also through Doppler processing, increase the detection range with out increasing the radar transmit power.…”

Design, Performance and Optimization for Multimodal Radar Operation

“…To address these issues, a multimodal radar methodology has been proposed which can survey different target scenes with varying bandwidths [4,5]. The sharing of spectrum for radar and communications has been studied before [6,7]. …”

Spectrum sharing in radar and wireless communication systems: A review

“…In this paper, we present a concise review of the state of the art on radar and communication system coexistence and bandwidth sharing. censed to, and a secondary user that utilizes the same spectrum band without endangering any mission of both sides [3]. Until recently, spectrum allocation (i.e., a certain frequency band is assigned exclusively to a certain electromagnetic wave emitting technology like radar or wireless communications) was vital to prevent any interference among different systems.…”
