Abstract

To alleviate the shortage of spectral resources as well as to reduce the weight, volume, and power consumption of wireless systems, joint communication-radar (JCR) systems have become a focus of interest in both civil and military fields. JCR systems based on time-modulated arrays (TMAs) constitute an attractive solution as a benefit of their high degree of beam steering freedom, low cost, and high accuracy. However, their sideband radiation results in energy loss, which is an inherent drawback. Hence the energy-efficiency optimization of TMA-based JCR systems is of salient importance, but most of the existing TMA energy-efficiency optimization methods do not apply to JCR systems. To circumvent their problems, a single-sideband structure is designed for flexibly reconfigurable energy-efficient TMA beam steering. First, some preliminaries on single-sideband TMAs are introduced. Then, a closed-form expression is derived for characterizing the energy efficiency. Finally, the theoretical results are validated by simulations.
