"An Overview of Signal Processing Techniques for Joint Communication and Radar Sensing"
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing, VOL. 15, NO. 6, NOVEMBER 2021

The paper provides an overview on the emerging area of joint communication and radar sensing (JCR), aiming to integrate the above two functionalities into a single system by sharing the majority of hardware, signal processing modules and, in a typical case, the transmitted signal. The close cooperation of the communication and sensing functions can enable significant improvement of spectrum efficiency, reduction of device size, cost and power consumption, and improvement of performance of both functions. Advanced signal processing techniques are critical for making the integration efficient, from transmission signal design to receiver processing. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art on JCR systems from the signal processing perspective.
The award will be presented at the Awards Ceremony at the IEEE ICASSP 2025 in Hyderabad, India.
Congratulations to Athina!
