Multiuser Zak-OTFS on the Uplink with Superimposed Spread-Pilots

Sai Pradeep Muppaneni, Ananthanarayanan Chockalingam

In this paper, we consider the uplink of a multiuser Zak-OTFS system comprising users with heterogeneous delay-Doppler (DD) periods/frame sizes. Multiple access is achieved through…

On the Effect of Pulse Shaping Filters in Zak-OTFS Waveform for Radar Sensing

Abhishek Bairwa, Ananthanarayanan Chockalingam

In radar sensing, the self-ambiguity function of the probing waveform plays a crucial role in the resolvability and detection of multiple targets. In the recent Zak-OTFS based rada…

Delay-Doppler Pulse Shaping in Zak-OTFS Using Hermite Basis Functions

Fathima Jesbin, Ananthanarayanan Chockalingam

The performance of Zak-OTFS modulation is critically dependent on the choice of the delay-Doppler (DD) domain pulse shaping filter. The design of pulses for is co…
