Abstract
To improve the availability of limited spectral resources and construct a cost-efficient platform simultaneously performing both radar and communication functions, the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) integrated radar and communication system (IRCS), which is referred to as OFDM-IRCS, is provided. For the frequency sensitive target and frequency selective fading channel, it is able to improve the radar and communication performance by efficiently employing the limited transmit power in the OFDM-IRCS. To this end, we propose two optimal waveform design methods that meet different users’ demands. First, the Cramér-Rao bounds (CRBs) for estimating range, velocity and target scattering coefficients with integrated OFDM waveform are derived. And the channel capacity in communication is formulated. Then, the multiobjective optimization problem is devised, and the adaptive weighted-optimal and Pareto-optimal waveform design approaches are proposed to simultaneously improve the estimation accuracy of range and velocity in radar and the channel capacity in communication. Finally, several numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed design methods.
