    Performance Analysis of Spectrum Sharing Radar in Multipath Environment
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2023) Gunnery, G.; Pardhasaradhi, B.; Mahipathi, A.C.; Prashantha Kumar, P.K.; Srihari, P.; Cenkarmaddi, L.R.
    Radar based sensing and communication systems sharing a common spectrum have become a potential research problem in recent years due to spectrum scarcity. The spectrum sharing radar (SSR) is a new technology that uses the total available bandwidth (BW) for both radar based sensing and communication. Unlike traditional radar, the SSR divides the total available BW into radar-only and mixed-use bands. In a radar-only band, only radar sensor signals can be transmitted and received. In contrast, radar and communication signals can both be transmitted and received in the mixed-use band. Taking such BW sharing into account, this paper investigates the performance of SSR in an information-theoretic sense. To evaluate performance, mutual information (MI), spectral efficiency (SE) and capacity (C) metrics are used. Initially, this paper considered a clean environment (no multipath) in order to evaluate performance metrics in the mixed-use band with and without successive interference cancellation. Following that, this paper addresses the performance of BW allocation by allocating low to high BW in mixed-band. Furthermore, the performance metrics are extended to account for the multipath environment, and the same analogy as in a clean environment is used. In addition, the MI and SE of traditional radar system is taken into account when comparing the performance of SSR with and without the use of the SIC. Finally, MI and capacity results show that using the SIC scheme in a mixed-use band yields performance comparable to traditional radar and communication system. In terms of SE, the SSR with SIC scheme outperforms traditional radar and communication system. © 2020 IEEE.

    A Survey on Waveform Design for Radar-Communication Convergence
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Chakravarthi Mahipathi, A.; Pardhasaradhi, B.; Lingadevaru, P.; Srihari, P.; D'Souza, J.; Cenkarmaddi, L.R.
    To provide service to an abundant number of communication users and to avoid the spectrum scarcity problem, many researchers are fascinated to work towards the convergence of radar sensing and communication systems. In addition, future intelligent systems like autonomous vehicles, Vehicle-to-everything (V2X), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), and all smart systems are going to implement both radar and communication systems on the same platform, which motivates the researchers to focus on the development of Joint Radar-Communication Systems (JRCS). Cooperative Radar-Communication System (CRCS) and Dual Functional Radar Communication (DFRC) systems provide an opportunity for communication users to utilize radar resources without disturbing radar operation. Waveform design is essential in the development of new models and designs related to joint radar-sensing and communication systems. A cooperative radar communication system uses separate waveforms for radar and communication systems. The DFRC system uses the same waveform for radar and communication operations. So to model both joint radar communication systems one should have a clear idea regarding waveform design and its approaches. Therefore, this review paper focused on different waveform design approaches for modeling CRCS and DFRC systems. In addition, the prime objective of this review paper is to give a detailed view of the existing cooperative and dual-function waveform design approaches and provide a kick-start for new learners to work on this area. © 2023 IEEE.
