The authors present a non-traditional, parametric method for velocity, angle, and range estimation in a frequency diverse array radar. Unlike the traditional beamforming techniques, the proposed scheme transmits an omni-directional sinusoid regardless of the target locations. They propose a simple sampling strategy, which eliminates the need for employing a bank of bandpass filters at the receiver. Under the proposed sampling scheme the received data follows a convenient low rank model. They exploit this model to design a fast and accurate parametric estimation algorithm. Their velocity and range estimation steps employ known spectral analysis techniques. For angle estimation, they propose a new grid-less sparse recovery algorithm. The resulting methods are applicable to any arbitrary array geometry. Furthermore, they propose an efficient method to mitigate jamming. They also provide necessary guidelines to avoid ambiguity and achieve the desired resolution performance. The Cramer-Rao lower bound for the estimation problem is derived. The utility of the proposed method is demonstrated via numerical simulation results.
