Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for implementing and using dual-mode radar and communications devices. An example dual-mode module may support at least a radar mode and a data communications mode, and may have one or more antennas that include at least a first phased array antenna and a second phased array antenna, one or more processing shared between the radar mode and the data communications mode, and one or more power switching circuits for switching between the radar mode and the data communications mode. One of the first phased array antenna and the second phased array antenna is configurable for radar transmission and the other one of is configurable for radar reception. At least one of the first phased array antenna and the second phased array antenna is configurable for use in communications mode. The dual-mode module switches between operation as a radar module and operation as a communications module.
