Abstract Based on the recently developed active-passive multifunctional all-digital HF surface wave radar hardware platform of Wuhan University, an experiment study of integrated technology for shortwave communication and Over-The-Horizon Radar (OTHR) application is carried out. Firstly, from the point of communication are demonstrated the key technologies of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, OFDM) in the short-wave communication. Secondly, from the point of radar detection are analyzed OFDM parameters design guidelines and its impact on the over-the-horizon radar detection performance. After the description of some key technologies related to communication signal demodulation and radar signal processing, the configuration parameters of hardware platform and experimental results are provided. The results show that the OFDM wave is done well in radar-communication integration systems, which is of great significance on the netted OTHR detection research.
