Waveform Design for ISAC: Trends and Future Directions

Xiaochan (Luna) Xue | February 18, 2026

As wireless networks evolve toward 6G, Integrated Sensing and Communication (ISAC) aims to unify radar sensing and data transmission within shared spectrum and hardware resources. This survey reviews ISAC waveform design with a focus on practical trade-offs and deployability. We adopt a design philosophy based categorization, grouping schemes categorize current approaches based on design philosophy, grouping them into communication-centric modifications, hybrid OFDM–chirp, and balanced OFDM–F...
