Demonstration: Real-Time mmWave Integrated Communication and Sensing

The proposed demonstration shows a real-time integrated communication and sensing (ICAS) system, operating in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequency band at a center frequency of 60 GHz. The demonstrated system allows bidirectional data communication with a coded data rate of up to 2.6 Gbit/s as well as mono-static radio detection and ranging (RADAR) with a range resolution of 6.7 cm and up to 2.1 kHz sensing rate. According to the basic principles of ICAS, the same hardware resources, the same signal waveform and the same frequency channel are used for both communication and sensing. All necessary functionality and the whole digital signal processing is integrated in one system-on-chip, resulting in a small form factor of the transceiver stations.
