Design and Optimization of Sensing-Communication Integration System in Industrial Automation Based on FDA and PA

Industrial automation is a rapidly evolving field that aims to improve efficiency, productivity, and safety in various verticals. The integration of sensing and communication technologies has become crucial in this automation process. Re-cent advancements in Frequency Diverse Array (FDA) antennas have shown promising performance advantages over traditional phased array antennas in certain aspects, e.g., the FDA-based radar can focus its beam in both angle and range domains simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture for sensing-communication integration in the context of industrial automation, where FDA antennas are employed as the radar sensing array, while phased array antennas are utilized for communication purposes. The integration of FDA antennas brings benefits such as more accurate object detection, improved spatial resolution, and efficient data transmission. We present a comprehensive analysis of the proposed architecture, including design considerations, system modeling, and performance evalu-ation. The results demonstrate the potential of FDA antennas in enhancing the sensing-communication integration in industrial automation, leading to improved efficiency, productivity, and safety in industrial environments.
