When the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) is introduced into the weak and high-dynamic global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal acquisition, the 2-D search cell will be transferred to a 3-D one with respect to the code chip, the Doppler shift, and the Doppler rate. The proper determinations of the code bin and Doppler shift bin in the acquisition process have already been covered in the previous researches. The aim of this paper is to provide an exhaustive analysis of the approach to specify an optimal FRFT order bin, in terms of the Doppler shift rate. The lower and upper bound of FRFT order ranges is determined by the incoming signal dynamics. Then, we propose a precise model to yield an optimal FRFT order bin. Besides, a novel and fast Doppler estimator based on the non-linear least square (NLS) method is presented to improve the performance of the digital FRFT implementation. Finally, an alternate search procedure is proposed to reduce the singular estimations of the NLS method. The simulating examples demonstrate the performance of the proposed algorithms. It has been verified that the computation efficiency and the estimation accuracy have been significantly improved by proposed techniques.

In multi user scenarios to prevent interference between users that share the same bandwidth at the same time, each user has to transmit waveforms that are uncorrelated with those of other users. However, due to spectrum limitations, the uncorrelated property cannot always be satisfied meaning that interference is unavoidable. In order to alleviate the interference, a framework for interference mitigation is presented. The performance of the proposed framework is tested on simulated and real signals. The real signal is acquired in a controlled laboratory environment using a Software Defined Radio (SDR). The simulated and experimental results show that the proposed framework is capable of mitigating the interference from other users.

“…In [1], [2], the authors presented a joint radarcommunication system based on Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) for automotive application, which is able to reach a very high bit rate of 20 Mb/s. In [3] the Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) was shown to be suitable for orthogonal waveforms generation for MIMO radar systems, while in [4] a joint radarcommunication system based on FrFT designed waveform was presented. This system does not fit the standards of automotive radar and communication as it employs pulsed waveforms instead of Continuous Waveform (CW), which is more suitable for short range applications [5].…”

In automotive environment, it is preferable to have a joint radar and communication system as it is able to use the same hardware and band of the spectrum for both systems. In this paper a joint radar communication system for automotive radar based on the Fractional Fourier Transform (FrFT) is presented. The performance of the system is analysed in the presence of interference arising from other users. In addition, the communication performance in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER), is analysed for different scenarios. Simulation results demonstrate the potential of the proposed system in multiuser scenarios and in different types of communication channels.
