Dual-Function Radar-Communications: Information Embedding Using Sidelobe Control and Waveform Diversity.

We develop a new technique for a dual-function system with joint radar and communication platforms. Sidelobe control of the transmit beamforming in tandem with waveform diversity enables communication links using the same pulse radar spectrum. Multiple simultaneously transmitted orthogonal waveforms are used for embedding a sequence of LB bits during each radar pulse. Two weight vectors are design...
