Integrated Communication Waveform Design for Bistatic Radar

Radar-communication integration is an emerging area in recent years. However, for bistatic radars or multistatic radars, this integration is seldom discussed. In this paper, a novel processing method for the Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) based Minimum Shift Keying (MSK) modulated signal is proposed. Different from tradition pulse train, the adjacent pulses in the LFM-MSK pulse train are modulated with different MSK signal, thus the modulated data can be canceled by multiplying the two pulses. So that for the receiver in the bistatic radar, the detection capability is not affected by the modulated data.
