Joint Communications and Sensing Experiments Using mmWave Platforms

Joint communications and radar sensing (JC&S) is expected to be one of the key features in next-generation wireless communication systems, and one of the main enablers for this is the availability of very wide bands in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies. Most of the literature has investigated different aspects of JC&S by means of theoretical or simulation studies. However, before this concept is fully understood and applied in practice, prototyping and large-scale experiments are needed. In this paper, we present two mmWave demonstration testbeds and discuss the measurement results for JC&S.
