Claim 0:
1. A radar sensing apparatus, comprising:
transmit-side circuitry to transmit, in a radar field of view and in a radio frequency (RF) range, a sequence of radar waveforms as RF signals carrying encoded communication data while ramping over a plurality of frequencies, and to encode communication data of RF signals via phase-shift keying (PSK) modulation at a modulation angle less than π to produce the RF signals carrying encoded communication data; and
receive-side circuitry to receive object-reflected versions of the RF signals carrying encoded communication data and to demodulate the object-reflected versions of the RF signals using a version of the sequence of radar waveforms transmitted from at least one antenna, the version of the sequence of radar waveforms lacking the communication data encoded via the PSK modulation.
