In view of the defects that high range side lobes and high peak-to-average power radio (PAPR) in radar and communication integrated systems based on traditional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM), a co-designed OFDM waveform based on Golay block coding for joint radar-communication system is proposed in this paper. The communication information is coded into Golay complementary sequences by Reed-Muller codes, which can not only reduce the PAPR of the system, but also can improve the error correction capability. However, the code rate of the algorithm will decrease rapidly with the increase of the number of subcarriers. Furthermore, the traditional block coding would impact on the final superimposed waveform performance due to phase randomness. Hence, a self-disarrange block coding algorithm is proposed. The radar and communication performance of the designed waveform, including wideband ambiguity function, range profile, PAPR, and bit error rate, is analyzed and simulated. The results demonstrate that the PAPR of the waveform and BER can be reduced effectively, while the range side lobes can be decreased for better radar detection performance.
