The invention discloses a
radar communication integrated waveform design method based on an OFDM (
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing)
signal. The method comprises the following steps that: a transmitting end completes
constellation mapping on transmitted communication information, performs ZCT matrix reconstruction, performs serial-parallel conversion on reconstructed communication data, performs
spectrum shaping on an integrated
signal by adopting an improved Nyquist pulse, and transmits the integrated
signal to a receiving end; and then IFFT
processing, parallel-to-serial conversion,
cyclic prefix addition, digital-to-analog conversion and up-conversion are carried out on the shaped data, and finally integrated waveform emission is completed. And the receiving end performs down-conversion, analog-to-
digital conversion and
cyclic prefix removal operation on the received signal. In the communication function, serial-to-parallel conversion, FFT
processing, inverse
pulse shaping, parallel-to-serial conversion, ZC matrix reconstruction solution and inverse mapping are carried out on the data without the
cyclic prefix to obtain communication information. In the
radar detection function,
radar signal processing is performed on data without cyclic prefixes. According to the method, the correlation of OFDM integrated signals can be effectively optimized, the modulation characteristic of communication information is improved, the influence of the communication information on a fuzzy function is reduced, OFDM symbols have better correlation, meanwhile, the peak-to-average
power ratio of the
system is effectively reduced through
pulse shaping, implementation is easy, and the comprehensive performance of the
system can be remarkably improved.
