A radar device according to a technique of the present disclosure includes a radar signal generator that intermittently and repeatedly outputs a chirp as a radar signal; a transmitting and receiving antenna that transmits the radar signal and receives, as a reflected wave, the radar signal reflected from an observation target; a beat signal generator that generates a beat signal from the radar signal and the reflected wave; an analog-to-digital converter that converts the beat signal into digital data; and a signal processor that detects range to the observation target and relative velocity with respect to the observation target, using the digital data.

A radar device includes a radar signal output unit outputs a first frequency modulation signal that changes in frequency with a first chirp slope and repeats in a first chirp period, and a second frequency modulation signal that changes in frequency with a second chirp slope different from the first chirp slope and repeats in a first chirp period; a signal processing unit determines the target in the first frequency modulation signal and the target in the second frequency modulation signal as pseudo targets in a case where a beat frequency of the target in the first frequency modulation signal matches a beat frequency of the target in the second frequency modulation signal, and a Doppler frequency of the target in the second frequency modulation signal matches a Doppler frequency of the target in the second frequency modulation signal.

Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communications are described. A user equipment (UE) may receive, from a base station, a control signal scheduling the UE to receive a downlink message from the base station using a set of time and frequency resources. The UE may identify an aggressor UE attempting to receive uplink communications, downlink communications, or both, transmitted between the UE and the base station and determine a transmit power for transmitting a jamming signal to the aggressor UE during the set of time and frequency resources. The UE may apply a jamming signal power scheme to the jamming signal by either using the determined transmit power or adjusting the determined transmit power in accordance with the jamming signal power scheme.

A narrowband AJ signaling system includes an AJ processor placed between a high precision analog-to-digital (ADC) converter and a narrowband digital receiver. In another example, the AJ processor is placed between the high precision ADC and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The AJ processor of either example may suppress the jammer power down to the level of the noise floor of the system.

A hybrid RADAR and communication system provides both RADAR and wireless communication (COMMS) that share the same antenna, transmit and receive amplifiers, and other hardware, thereby reducing size, weight, and power requirements. In embodiments, COMMS implementation only requires adding additional software to a RADAR system. Embodiments are EW/COMMS systems that provide electronic warfare and wireless communication. EW/COMMS embodiments facilitate communication in hostile environments by enabling data exchange at any frequency within a broad EW frequency range. Communication signals can be obfuscated by interleaving them with EW waveforms at the same RF frequency. Collaborative communication between EW systems is enhanced by reducing EW communication lag times. Systems with physically distinct broadband and narrow band receivers can negotiate data exchange timing and frequencies by exchanging low power, low data rate control signals that are detected by the broadband receiver, while subsequent high density data bursts are received by the narrowband receiver.
