Increased amounts of bandwidth are required to guarantee both high-quality/high-rate wireless services (4G and 5G) and reliable sensing capabilities, such as for automotive radar, air traffic control, earth geophysical monitoring, and security applications. Therefore, coexistence between radar and communication systems using overlapping bandwidths has come to be a primary investigation field in recent years. Various signal processing techniques, such as interference mitigation, precoding or spatial separation, and waveform design, allow both radar and communications to share the spectrum.
This article reviews recent work on coexistence between radar and communication systems, including signal models, waveform design, and signal processing techniques. Our goal is to survey contributions in this area to provide a primary starting point for new researchers interested in these problems.
