Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of radar communication integration, in particular to a radar communication integration waveform design method.
Technical Field
In the radar communication integration technology, the transmitter can adopt an integrated waveform design, namely, a radar detection waveform and a communication waveform are organically combined, and the design method of the shared waveform realizes communication on the premise of not influencing the radar detection function. The modulation information carried on the waveform is demodulated in a communication signal processing module of the receiver, so that the communication function is realized; the echo of the waveform is processed and analyzed by a radar signal processing module in the receiver to acquire information such as the position, the speed, the shape and the like of the target. Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) signals are commonly used radar pulse waveforms, and the waveforms are used as carrier waves and can be combined with the existing communication waveforms to be integrally designed. In the existing radar communication integrated waveform design, the integrated waveform design combining MSK, OFDM, BPSK, QPSK and LFM is known in the art. However, these modulation methods belong to low-order modulation, and the spectrum utilization rate is low. In order to improve the frequency spectrum utilization rate, the radar communication integrated waveform design needs to realize the combination of high-order modulation and LFM.
