Abstract

Phase-coded frequency modulated continuous wave (PC-FMCW) radars for joint sensing and communication are considered. The sensing and communication performance of the two signal processing methods, phase lag compensated group delay filter and filter bank receivers, are compared. It is demonstrated that the phase lag compensated group delay receiver provides better sensing performance and requires less computational complexity than the filter bank receiver. The application of the former receiver is, however, limited by the bit error rate degradation with the communication signal bandwidth.
