Abstract
In this paper, radio-frequency (RF) hardware challenges for joint communication and radar sensing (JC&S) applications are studied. Different transceiver block requirements, namely amplifier and frequency synthesizers are described and compared for these two applications. The key concepts to efficiently meet the requirements of a joint system with single hardware are proposed. For the analysis, signal processing approach and waveforms that can satisfy requirements from both applications are considered.
