An advanced radio apparatus (102) includes a set of antennas (205); analog circuit (1220); digital circuit (1216); medium
access control (MAC) controller (918); and processor (225) operably connected to the set of antennas, the analog circuit, the digital circuit, and the MAC controller. The processor is configured to decompose
wideband waveform signals into a time-frequency waveform based on a sequence of sub-band signals; generate a time-frequency
radar waveform based on the decomposed
wideband waveform signals; map, based on the time-frequency
radar waveform, a constant amplitude zero auto-correlation (CAZAC) sequence into
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) sub-carriers to generate a first
radar signal. A
transceiver (210) is connected to the processor and configured to transmit, to a target object via a transmit antenna of the set of antennas, the first radar
signal and receive, via a receive antenna of the set of antennas, a second
signal that is reflected or backscattered from the target object.
