Design and Demonstration of an OFDM Based RadCom System

Abstract

A joint Radar Communications testbed is presented. This testbed leverages the OFDM based DAB standard to generate Radcom signals. The extended DAB mode structure used to describe these signals was used as the basis on which the communications sub-systems were designed. Furthermore, a radar processing subsystem was developed to process the same signal. Finally a functional testbed was deployed and used to complete system integration tests thereby demonstrating the joint RadCom functionality.
