This $360,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research by Rutgers, The State University to advance dual-function radar-communication (DFRC) technology. The project aims to develop a novel MIMO ISAC (Integrated Sensing and Communication) system that can efficiently utilize bandwidth for both high-speed communication and high-resolution sensing, particularly in high-mobility scenarios where traditional systems face performance challenges. Key innovations include enabling Doppler-delay domain bins to be shared across MIMO transmit antennas to achieve bandwidth efficiency, and leveraging a virtual array approach to enhance spatial resolution beyond the receive array's aperture while minimizing impact on communication throughput. This research is targeted at enabling next-generation applications such as autonomous vehicles, satellite/UAV systems, and smart manufacturing where both high-speed communication and high-resolution sensing are critical. The award period is from September 1, 2025 to August 31, 2028.
