    Abstract
  • Radar-communication integration is an effective way to solve the congestion problem of spectrum resource. Sharing waveform design is the key technology that realizes the radar and communication functions simultaneously. This study solves the multicarrier waveform optimization problem for an Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS)-assisted Dual-function Radar-Communication (DRC) system. First, by maximizing Radar Mutual Information (RMI) along with the constraints of transmission power, Word Error Probability (WEP), sidelobe amplitude and IRS reflection coefficient, a joint optimization model with dual-functional transmit waveform, IRS reflecting units, radar and communication receiving beampattern is constructed. Second, a multicarrier waveform optimization algorithm based on Alternating Direction Maximization (ADM) is proposed. The original non-convex optimization problem is decomposed into several low-complexity subproblems and then iteratively optimized to obtain the local power allocation strategy of the multicarrier waveform. Finally, the simulation results show that the radar and communication functions can be simultaneously realized using the ADM algorithm. For the IRS-assisted DRC system, both the radar and communication performances can be effectively improved compared with those of the existing methods.
