Abstract:
A multi-user system to simultaneously perform operations such as communication, RADAR, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) and Relative Navigation (RELNAV). The techniques according to an embodiment includes generating a Fourier based orthogonal chirp sequence of length P, a prime number greater than the number of users targeted for communication. The orthogonal chirp sequence is based on an identifier, in the range of one to P−1, associated with one of the targeted users. The method further includes using the orthogonal chirp sequence to generate a spread user signal based on a message directed to the one targeted users. The method further includes generating a sequence of training pulses for insertion into the spread user signal to facilitate reception of the signal. The method further includes transmitting and receiving a reflection of the spread user signal from one of the targeted users, the reflection used to detect and range the user.
