While the fifth-generation applications have reached the consumer market in the last few years, JCRS has been identified as one of the key technologies for next generation networks. The role of JCRS will vary, ranging from tasks such as radar coordination, context awareness for communication, enhanced security, increased availability, and improving the resilience and trustworthiness of future networks. In this work, the niche of JCRS technology in the future 6G ecosystem, as well as several potential applications, are discussed with a focus on RF hardware. The use of centimeter (cmWave) and millimeter (mmWave) frequency spectrums in the context of JCRS system implementation have been further elaborated. After presenting the near-term application scenarios, the circuit implementation perspectives are investigated in terms of radio frequency (RF) front-end architectures, antenna implementation, and phased arrays. Different communication and radar antenna options are compared, and the best candidates are identified. The packaging options are also presented. From circuit and system perspectives, link budget and self-interference cancellation (SIC) are highlighted. Furthermore, future directions including the next steps on the path to enabling JCRS technology are presented throughout this article. Prior works focused more on physical layers and network capabilities of JCRS systems, with less focus on hardware possibilities; to fill this gap, this article aims to contribute to this exciting research topic with a holistic review of RF hardware, highlighting the diversity of applications and the available technologies to tackle the near- and long-term needs of consumer applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23187673","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,5]],"date-time":"2023-09-05T10:26:43Z","timestamp":1693909603000},"page":"7673","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Joint Communication and Radar Sensing: RF Hardware Opportunities and Challenges\u2014A Circuits and Systems Perspective"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Padmanava","family":"Sen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Barkhausen Institut, 01187 Dresden, Germany"}]},{"given":"Armen","family":"Harutyunyan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Barkhausen Institut, 01187 Dresden, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6792-721X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad","family":"Umar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Barkhausen Institut, 01187 Dresden, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9737-5890","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shahanawaz","family":"Kamal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Barkhausen Institut, 01187 Dresden, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Wymeersch, H., Shrestha, D., De Lima, C., Yajnanarayana, V., Richerzhagen, B., Keskin, M., Schindhelm, K., Ramirez, A., Wolfgang, A., and De Guzman, M.
