SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Department of the Air Force intends to grant the partially exclusive patent license agreement for the invention described in: U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 17/761.326, filed September 19, 2020, and entitled ‘‘A ContinuousPhase Modulation Based Power Efficient Tunable Joint Radar/Communications System’’. Abstract of Patent Application Systems, methods, and computerreadable storage media for generating and utilizing radar signals with embedded data are disclosed. Data is encoded onto a CPM waveform, which is then combined with a base radar waveform to produce a radar-embedded communication (REC) waveform. Both the CPM waveform and the base radar waveform may have a continuous phase and constant envelope, resulting in the REC waveform having a continuous phase and constant envelope. The changing (e.g., on a pulse-to-pulse basis) nature of the REC waveform causes RSM of clutter which may result in residual clutter after clutter cancellation, decreasing target detection performance of the radar system. In an aspect, various parameters may be utilized to dynamically adjust the performance of the radar system for a particular operating scenario, such as to enhance radar signal processing or enhance data communication capabilities. The Department of the Air Force may grant the prospective license unless a timely objection is received that sufficiently shows the grant of the license would be inconsistent with the Bayh-Dole Act or implementing regulations.
