Abstract

A photonics-assisted joint communication-radar system is proposed by introducing a quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK)-sliced linearly frequency-modulated (LFM) signal. An LFM signal is carrier-suppressed single-sideband modulated onto the optical carrier in one dual-parallel Mach–Zehnder modulator (DPMZM) of a dual-polarization dual-parallel Mach–Zehnder modulator (DPol-DPMZM). The other DPMZM is biased as an IQ modulator to implement QPSK modulation on the optical carrier. The polarization orthogonal optical signals from the DPol-DPMZM are further combined and detected in a photodetector to generate the QPSK-sliced LFM signal. The QPSK-sliced LFM signal is used to realize efficient data transmission and high-performance radar functions including ranging and imaging. An experiment is performed. Radar range detection with an error of less than 4 cm, inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging with a resolution of ${14.99}\;{\rm{cm}} \times {3.25}\;{\rm{cm}}$, and communication with a data rate of 105.26 or 210.52 Mbit/s are successfully verified.
