Performance evaluation method of radar-embedded communication waveform based on processing gain advantage
Radar-embedded communication(REC)is a covert communication method that enables radar and communication to share spectrum,and it achieves low probability of interception(LPI)communication by em-bedding communication waveforms in high-power radar backscattered echoes.Communication reliability and LPI performance are usually considered separately in the traditional REC waveform analysis,and thus,the compre-hensive performance of REC waveforms is often ignored.The index of processing gain advantage is proposed based on the processing gain,and the communication reliability performance,LPI performance and comprehen-sive performance of three REC waveforms are analyzed,which provides a new reference for waveform and param-eter selection of REC communication under different requirements.The simulation results confirm the correctness and feasibility of analyzing the performance of REC waveforms with the processing gain advantage.
