1. A method for joint radar communication for automotive applications, comprising:
a transmitter transmitting a radar signal, which signal has a phase-modulated continuous waveform and comprises information encoded by phase modulation,
a receiver, spaced from the transmitter, receiving the signal, wherein the signal is reflected by at least one target and
the receiver decoding the information from the received signal and estimating at least one target-related parameter based on the information decoded from the received signal,
wherein the signal is a multi-carrier phase-modulated continuous waveform having a plurality of carrier frequencies and the information is encoded onto each carrier frequency, wherein the multi-carrier phase-modulated continuous waveform involves transmission of a PMCW code, modulated by a communication symbol on the different carrier frequencies.
