Joint waveform design of radar detection, wireless communication and jamming based on chaotic composite modulation

Abstract In this letter, we address the problem of designing the joint waveform of radar detection, wireless communication and jamming. In the current most powerful filter‐bank multi‐carrier comb spectrum framework, a parameter‐agile time–frequency structure between symbols is elaborated to improve the uncertainty of waveform generation architecture. Furthermore, a novel composite modulation strategy that combines intra‐symbol chaos‐based radar frequency modulation and inter‐symbol chaos‐based phase modulation is proposed for a substantial jamming performance improvement. Simulation results verify that the proposed joint waveform produces a superior jamming performance while satisfying the requirements of radar detection and wireless communication.
