Dual Function Radar Communications using Index Modulation

The pressure on the scarce electromagnetic spectrum has led to a substantial and sustained global research effort into approaches that alleviate the competition between the various services that depend on this resource. In this respect, joint radar communication and dual function radar communication systems and schemes have proliferated. These aim to bring the radar and communication function together to improve the efficiency of spectrum use through coexistence of the two functions. This talk will focus on the application of Index Modulation in DFRC. Some recent advances and approaches will be discussed.
