Intra-Pulse Radar-Embedded Communications

Abstract

The objective of this project was to theoretically develop and validate the principles, metrics, and algorithms to achieve intra-pulse radar-embedded communications for covert high data throughput. From a forward link perspective, the pulse-agile radar paradigm has been explored where a radar may use different waveforms within a coherent processing interval to represent different broadcast communication symbols thereby enabling dual use emissions. This form of transmit diversity induces a degradation of radar clutter cancellation performance and, as such, a new framework for the design radar pulse compression filtering was devised that seeks to constrain the range ambiguity of each waveform/filter pair to be identical.
