| description | Abstract In this study, a dual‐function radar‐communications (DFRC) system based on the circulating code array is presented to address the contradiction between radar and communications system in beam scanning and beam coverage. Processed orthogonal frequency‐division multiplexing (OFDM) signal is transmitted by the circulating code array as the base signal to improve the data rate. Following the spatial angle of the communication receiver, the communication symbols are modulated to part of OFDM signal subcarriers occupying a specific frequency band. A significant property of the circulating code array, which provides a relationship between the baseband frequency of the base signal and the spatial angles, implements a basis for safe telecommunication transmission towards the cooperative receiver and demodulation. Moreover, the circulating code array transmits the same signal and introduces the same time interval between adjacent array elements. Therefore, the complex problems of multi‐dimensional orthogonal signal design in the traditional multiple‐input‐multiple‐output‐based DFRC system design are transformed into a simple base signal design. Finally, an omnidirectional coverage pattern is obtained. Thus, whether the communication receiver is in the mainlobe or the sidelobe of the radar beam, the communication connection can be established between the designed DFRC system and the communication users. The performance of the described DFRC system is verified through theoretical analysis and simulations. |
