The radio frequency (RF)spectrum is finite, yet the demand for its use is growing, largely driven by the needs of commercial cellular, albeit with equally important requirements for enhanced performance by other spectral users, most notably radar and navigation. In total, the "RF triad" of radar, communications, and navigation represents a myriad of different ways in which the EF spectrum is accessed and utilized. As such, sharing of spectrum between these fundamentally different modes realizes a vast systems engineering problem space that is currently being investigated. At a high level, examples of topics being explored include coexistence between radar/aeronautical/satellite links and terrestrial systems such as cellular and WiFi, cognitive systems for spectral avoidance and adaptive interference mitigation, and the co-design of simultaneous multi-function systems.
