Frequency-hopping (FH) joint radar-communications (JRC) can offer excellent security for integrated sensing and communication systems. However, existing JRC schemes mainly embed information using only the sub-pulse frequencies and hence the data rate is limited. In this letter, we propose to use both sub-pulse frequencies and durations for information modulation, leading to higher communication data rates. For information demodulation, we propose a novel scheme by using the time-frequency analysis (TFA) technique and a 'you only look once' (YOLO)-based detection system. As such, our system does not require channel estimation, simplifying the transmission signal frame design. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of our scheme, and show that it is robust against the Doppler shift and timing offset between the transceiver and the communication receiver.
