24-GHz joint radar and radio system capable of time-agile wireless sensing and communication

Summary form only given, as follows. A multifunctional and time-agile system is proposed and experimentally demonstrated using the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology for 24-GHz vehicular applications. By arranging the radar sensing mode and the radio communication mode in sequential time slots, the present system can operate with the flexibility and capability of functional reconfiguration and fusion using a single transceiver platform. Preliminary experiments have verified good system performance.
