A New Method of Joint Radar and Communication Waveform Design and Signal Processing Based on OFDM-chirp
-
摘要: 雷达通信一体化波形设计是近年来的研究热点。有学者提出利用正交频分复用(OFDM)信号的奇偶载波分别调制雷达与通信功能来实现一体化。但OFDM通信系统一般采用循环前缀(CP)来避免多径效应带来的载波间干扰(ICI)和符号间干扰(ISI)，这会降低能量利用率，并会形成虚假目标，影响雷达性能；此外，传统的OFDM一体化信号对多普勒比较敏感，微小的多普勒频偏也会带来正交性能的严重下降。该文在此基础上提出了一种新的波形设计和处理方法。该方法利用空白保护间隔替代循环前缀，可以在对抗多径效应的同时避免出现由于循环前缀引入的虚假目标，有效防止载波间干扰和符号间干扰。在信号处理方法上，该文提出利用雷达发射信号的先验信息进行信道估计与补偿多普勒频偏的方法。与传统方法相比，该文方法降低了系统在导频与训练序列等资源上的开销，提升了能量利用率和频谱效率，并且改善了峰值旁瓣比(PSLR)、积分旁瓣比(ISLR)和通信误码率(BER)等指标。仿真实验验证了该文方法的有效性。

Abstract: Waveform design of joint radar and communication has become a focus of intense research in recent years. Some scholars have proposed to use the odd and even carrier of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) signal to modulate the radar and communication functions, respectively, to realize the integration. However, OFDM systems generally use cyclic prefix to avoid Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) and Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI) caused by multipath effects, reducing energy utilization and creating false targets, which affect radar performance. In addition, the traditional OFDM integrated signal is more sensitive to Doppler shift. A small Doppler frequency offset will also cause a considerable drop in orthogonal performance. On this basis, this paper proposes a new waveform design and processing method. This method uses blank guard intervals to replace cyclic prefixes, which can resist multipath effects while avoiding false targets introduced by cyclic prefixes, effectively preventing ICI and ISI. In terms of signal processing methods, this paper proposes a method for channel estimation and Doppler compensation using the priori information of the radar signal. Compared with the traditional method, this new method reduces the system’s resource overhead, such as pilot frequency and training sequence. It improves energy utilization and spectrum efficiency. The peak side lobe ratio, integration side lobe rate, and bit error ratio are also improved. Simulation experiments verify the effectiveness of this method. -
