Abstract
This paper considers an affine frequency division multiplexing (AFDM)-based integrated sensing and communications (ISAC) system, where the AFDM waveform is used to simultaneously carry communications information and sense targets. To realize AFDM-based sensing functionality, two parameter estimation methods are designed to process echoes in the time domain and the discrete affine Fourier transform (DAFT) domain, respectively. It allows us to decouple delay and Doppler shift in the fast time axis and can maintain good sensing performance even in large Doppler shift scenarios. Numerical results verify the effectiveness of our proposed AFDM-based system in high mobility scenarios.
