A high-throughput communications channel is encoded using transmit waveforms which satisfy a variety of technical constraints deemed desirable for effective radar operations and signal processing. This enables new cooperative spectrum sharing modalities for radar and communications systems.

False alarms in RADAR processing are reduced. One or more transforms may be performed to generate an array of spectrum values for a first domain spanning at least one of a range axis, a direction of arrival (DoA) axis, or a velocity axis.

The one or more spectrum values identified as exceeding the range-dependent maximum threshold may be excluded, or one or more reduced-magnitude values obtained, to generate an array of modified spectrum values for the first domain, used to generate a range estimate, a DoA estimate, or a velocity estimate, or any combination thereof.
