Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for generating and utilizing radar signals with embedded data are disclosed. Data is encoded onto a CPM waveform, which is then combined with a base radar waveform to produce a radar-embedded communication (REC) waveform. Both the CPM waveform and the base radar waveform may have a continuous phase and constant envelope, resulting in the REC waveform having a continuous phase and constant envelope. The changing (e.g., on a pulse-to-pulse basis) nature of the REC waveform causes RSM of clutter which may result in residual clutter after clutter cancellation, decreasing target detection performance of the radar system. In an aspect, various parameters may be utilized to dynamically adjust the performance of the radar system for a particular operating scenario, such as to enhance radar signal processing or enhance data communication capabilities.
