Experimental Investigation of Phase Coded FMCW for Sensing and Communications

The phase coded FMCW and its properties for joint sensing and communication are studied. Two different receiver structures for the sensing properties of this waveform are compared theoretically and experimentally. It is shown both by simulations and experiments that the phased coded FMCW combines communication capabilities of PMCW and sensing capabilities of FMCW while using a realizable hardware complexity for an automotive radar.
