Diagonal Waveform and Algorithm to Estimate Range and Velocity in Multi-Object Scenarios
share
Waveform design for joint communication and sensing (JCAS) is an important research direction, focusing on providing an optimal tradeoff between communication and sensing performance. In this paper, we first describe the conventional grid-type waveform structure and the corresponding two-dimension (2D)-discrete Fourier transform (DFT) algorithm. We then introduce an emerging diagonal scheme, including a diagonal waveform structure and corresponding 1D-DFT diagonal algorithm. The diagonal scheme substantially reduces the signaling overhead and computational complexity compared to the conventional 2D-DFT algorithm while still achieving the same radar performance. But the previous study of diagonal waveform used a single target to evaluate the performance of the diagonal scheme. This paper verifies the diagonal waveform with simulations demonstrating its feasibility in a traffic monitoring scenario with multiple vehicles.
