Exploring the Synergy: A Review of Dual-Functional Radar Communication Systems

This review paper examines the concept and advancements in the evolving landscape of Dual-functional Radar Communication (DFRC) systems. Traditionally, radar and communication systems have functioned independently, but current research is actively investigating the integration of these functionalities into a unified platform. This paper discusses the motivations behind the development of DFRC systems, the challenges involved, and the potential benefits they offer. A discussion on the performance bounds for DFRC systems is also presented. The paper encompasses a comprehensive analysis of various techniques, architectures, and technologies used in the design and optimization of DFRC systems, along with their performance and trade-offs. Additionally, we explore potential application scenarios for these joint communication and sensing systems, offering a comprehensive perspective on the multifaceted landscape of DFRC technology.
