Abstract
Partitioning the antenna array into different subarrays is a flexible scheme in the joint radar and communication system. However, the traditional fixed partition of the antenna array cannot make full use of the complete aperture. In this paper, we propose a novel antenna partition scheme. In this scheme, the antenna is randomly and dynamically chosen as radar or communication unit. The dynamic randomness introduces extra channel capacity of the communication system, and enables the radar system approximately obtain the resolution and sidelobe level of a full antenna array simultaneously. The channel capacity, Cramér Rao Bound and the ambiguity function are theoretically analyzed. Pareto Front is used to demonstrate the performance improvement of the proposed system over the traditional fixed partition system.
