| Abstract |
Dual function radar and communications (DFRC) systems are the focus of growing research attention. The common DFRC setup considers simultaneous probing and information transmission to a remote receiver, typically involving complex radar-oriented waveforms, whose detection can induce a notable burden on the receiver. In many DFRC applications, the communication receivers are devices which are limited in terms of hardware, power, and memory resources. These receivers are required to extract the desired information from the received dual-function waveform, while operating with a given bit budget. In this paper, we design bit constrained communication receivers in dual-function systems, by considering hybrid analog/digital architectures and treating their operation as task-based quantization. We study two forms of analog processing in these hybrid receivers, allowing to combine inputs in different time instances and antennas or only in different antennas at the same time instance. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed task-based quantization strategy outperforms receivers operating only in the digital domain with the same total number of quantization bits. |
