Abstract
Future integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems require simultaneous multibeam operation with low-latency hardware and robust isolation under synchronization error and fading. Conventional code-division multiplexing using Walsh-Hadamard codes is extremely time-sensitive. This paper demonstrates that conventional temporal-only coded multibeam arrays suffer from inter-beam sidelobe level (SLL) collapse to within a few dB of the main lobe, with variations exceeding 10-20 dB over delay. By embedding moderate-length Gold sequences into a spherical spatial codebook, the proposed Spherical-Gold scheme leverages both temporal and spatial correlation bounds, achieving effective inter-beam isolation without increasing RF complexity. Measurement results and verifications are performed using an Analog Devices ADAR3002 Ka-band 256-element receiver with four simultaneous beams. The proposed scheme demonstrates at least 15 dB rejection with less than 2.5 dB variation in SLL under time error and fading, whereas temporal-only CDMA degrades to approximately -5 to -7 dB SLL with nearly 8 dB variation under time delay.
