This paper deals with the problem of a cognitive radar system that shares the same frequency band with a communication system, supposed to be the primary user of channel. A cognitive algorithm is proposed to estimate the channel parameters that describe the behaviour of the primary user and how to exploit these estimates to minimize the interference between the radar and the communication system. The performance of the proposed algorithm are assessed in terms of probability of collision, that is the probability that the radar transmits when the primary user already occupies the channel, and probability to lose a spectrum opportunity, that is the probability that the radar does not transmit when the channel is free.

Abstract
This paper deals with the problem of a cognitive radar system that shares the same frequency band with a communication system, supposed to be the primary user of channel. A cognitive algorithm is proposed to estimate the channel parameters that describe the behaviour of the primary user and how to exploit these estimates to minimize the interference between the radar and the communication system. The performance of the proposed algorithm are assessed in terms of probability of collision, that is the probability that the radar transmits when the primary user already occupies the channel, and probability to lose a spectrum opportunity, that is the probability that the radar does not transmit when the channel is free.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
