1. A wireless multimode system comprising:
an array of N antenna elements, the array comprising a first portion of M antenna elements and a second portion of L antenna elements, the second portion being different than the first portion, wherein N, M and L are positive integers greater than zero, and wherein M plus L is lower than or equal to N;
M transmission amplifiers coupled to respective antenna elements of the first portion of M antenna elements, each of the M transmission amplifiers configured to transmit, via the M antenna elements, frames of transmit data, wherein the frames of transmit data comprises transmit radar signals and transmit communication signals;
M reception amplifiers coupled to respective antenna elements of the first portion of M antenna elements, the M reception amplifiers configured to receive, via the M antenna elements, frames of receive data, wherein the frames of receive data comprises receive communication signals, wherein the transmit communication signals and the receive communication signals form a communication link; and
L reception amplifiers coupled to respective antenna elements of the second portion of L antenna elements, the L reception amplifiers configured to receive, via the L antenna elements, receive radar signals, wherein the receive radar signals corresponds to the transmit radar signals; and
a resource scheduler configured to allocate bandwidth for transmit radar signals and transmit communication signals within the frames of transmit data based on one or more predetermined parameters.
