This paper proposes beamforming designs for net-zero energy multi-input multi-output (MIMO) dual-functional radar-communication (DFRC) systems that are powered through energy harvesting (EH) resources and aim to operate autonomously without access to the power grid. We propose a weighted optimizatio...
