| Abstract |
We consider a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) dual function radar communication (DFRC) system employing frequency hopping (FH) radar waveforms. The DFRC system embeds communication symbols using code-shift keying (CSK) strategy. Each symbol is represented by a phase modulated pulse code sequence which multiplies the radar hops in fast-time before transmitted from the MIMO radar platform. This strategy allows for reduced clutter modulation caused by changed radar waveforms within coherent processing interval (CPI). We analyze the effect of this communication symbol embedding scheme on range sildelobe levels (RSLs) and derive the DFRC probability of target detection. We show that the DFRC waveforms enhances target visibility leading to improved target detection compared with the FH radar without signal embedding. |
