Integrated sensing and communications (ISAC, or joint communications and sensing, JCAS) is a trending
research topic in wireless communications for 6G. The concept is exactly what the name indicates: it’s exploring the idea of adding sensing to our communications systems. The most common way to do this is by adding a radar signal to the wireless signal, but it’s still a new concept that is in the applied research stage.
NI USRPs are a great tool for ISAC research. They give researchers a platform that can transmit custom
waveforms and be used to make real-time testbeds to evaluate the performance of new ISAC waveforms.
