The disclosure includes embodiments for performing integrated automotive radar processing and data communications. In some embodiments, a method for an integrated automotive radar and communication application includes generating a wireless signal. The method includes generating an automotive-radar waveform. The method includes combining the wireless signal with the automotive-radar waveform to generate a combination signal for the integrated automotive radar and communication application so that a radar bandwidth for the automotive-radar waveform is decoupled from a communication bandwidth for the wireless signal. The method includes transmitting the combination signal. The method includes listening for radar feedback associated with the combination signal. The method includes performing radar processing on the radar feedback to generate a radar detection result.
