Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for generating, transmitting, and utilizing a composite radar and communication waveform are disclosed. The composite radar and communication waveform may facilitate radar detection and data communication operations and may be generated from a frequency modulated (FM) radar waveform and a communication signal. In an aspect, the composite radar and communication waveform may be generated by iteratively executing a shaping process against the FM radar waveform and the communication signal until a first stop criterion is satisfied to produce an initial composite radar and communication waveform having the communication signal embedded therein, and then iteratively executing an enhancement process against the initial composite radar waveform and the communication signal until a second stop criterion is satisfied to produce a final composite radar and communication waveform suitable for both radar detection and data communication operations.
