Advances in Joint Radar-Communication Systems, Multi-Carrier Radars, Passive Radar Networks, and Waveform Design

Dear Colleagues,

Due to an ever increasing demand for access to the electromagnetic spectrum, a significant amount of research has been focused on fusion of radar and communication systems (RadComm). Most recently, this topic has fueled a renewed interest in multi-carrier radar systems, since they present an ideal model for creating a joint RadComm design. Similarly, passive radar configurations, waveform design via e.g. orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), noise and chaos; and even radar networks are being investigated towards the goal of RadComm. This Special Issue focuses on waveform design and architecture for RadComm systems. We welcome contributions dealing with the improved performance of the RadComm system using multi-carrier radars, exploiting spectral diversity, passive radar systems, MIMO/multi-static implementations, noise and chaotic radars, cognitive radar sensor design, and advanced signal processing applications.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the Special Issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
