High-Throughput Communications Using Constant-Modulus Waveforms With Mitigation of Range-Sidelobe Modulation

Abstract

In a previous paper, we introduced a flexible methodology for the design of dual-use waveform alphabets which are suitable for simultaneous use in radar and wireless communications. Here we extend this work to accommodate waveforms of constant modulus, and explain how pulse compression constraints may be leveraged to significantly mitigate the significant issue of range-sidelobe modulation. We report results of a field test which validated performance expectations.
