Development of OFDM UWB-Based RADCOMM System for Effective Utilization in Intelligent Transportation System

With the advent of Internet of Things (IoT) and the advanced intelligent transportation systems (ITS), the concept of integration of data with technology and simultaneous sensing and communication is essential. These application areas would be driven by road safety and vehicular infotainment. The challenges in this regard are simultaneous vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) sensing and communication. Here we have proposed the development of an OFDM UWB system whereby the UWB radar is sensing the object and the communication information is embedded in the transmitted UWB pulses. The radar receiver detects the target as well as estimates its range and velocity within the coherent processing interval. A realistic multipath fading channel is used with two moving targets.
