Joint communication and radar sensing (JCR) represents an emerging research field aiming to integrate the above two functionalities into a single system, sharing majority of hardware signal processing modules and, in typical case, transmitted signal. It is recognised as key approach significantly improving spectrum efficiency, reducing device size, cost power consumption, performance thanks pot...

In the past few years, new approaches to radar signal processing have been introduced which allow the radar to perform signal detection and parameter estimation from much fewer measurements than that required by Nyquist sampling. These systems referred to as sub-Nyquist radars model the received signal as having finite rate of innovation and employ the Xampling framework to obtain low-rate samp...

I mprovements in the speed and resolution of both digital to ana-log converters (DACs) and analog to digital converters (ADCs) have resulted in a continual push to move more func-tionality into the digital signal processing arena. RF and analog signal processing methodologies such as filtering and frequency translation are being handled increasingly in the digital domain, where near-ideal filte...

Space-time coding (STC) has been shown to play a key role in the design of MIMO radars with closely spaced antennas. Multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) radar is emerging technology for target detection, parameter identification, and target classification due to diversity of waveform and perspective. First, it turns out that a joint waveform optimization problem can be decoupled into a set of...

In this paper we investigate the dynamic range requirements of a passive radar system and show the impact of analogto-digital converter (ADC) quantization on system performance. This analysis is carried out with a view towards understanding how many ADC bits are required in each channel of the passive radar system. To give practical insight, we consider the parameters of a passive radar system ...
