Radar-Communication Waveform Design With Detection Probability Constraints

In this letter, we develop a new framework to design optimal waveform in a radar-communication system for maximizing its communication performance subject to a constraint on its detection performance. The novelty of our newly developed framework lies in that our detection constraint is expressed as the radar detection probability being greater than or equal to a specific value for a given false alarm probability, while this constraint was directly put on the waveform. Our framework can significantly outperform two benchmark schemes in terms of achieving a higher average sum rate subject to guaranteeing the same detection performance.
