Multimodal radar with wide band communication system

A multimodal radar is a radar that is capable of carrying out multiple radar applications. Such applications could vary from map imaging, moving target detection to doppler radar and they may also differ in their electromagnetic wave propagation from Line-of-Sight (LOS) to Non-LOS [1]. With that in...
