With the development of modern weapon techniques, radio frequency integrated technology has attracted widespread attention as a key technology to improve the informationalised level of missiles. Radar and communication are two typical electronic types of equipment, and their integration can support and promote the development of radio frequency integrated technology. In this study, experimental verification of an integrated radar–communication system is carried out. Firstly, the key technologies to achieve radar–communication integration are theoretically analysed. The solutions of the key issues, including signal separation, time synchronisation and frequency synchronisation, are proposed. Furthermore, a radar–communication demo is implemented and the experimental verification is carried out here to verify the feasibility of the proposed methods.
