【 摘 要 】

Target localisation using frequency diverse array (FDA) has drawn much attention owing to the additional degree of freedom in the range dimension. However, the Doppler effect was often ignored in previous FDA works because of the stationary target assumption, and in contrast, even stationary target localisation could be of quite a high computational complexity. In this study, a method is proposed that can jointly estimate range, angle, and Doppler for FDA multiple-input-multiple-output radar with low computational complexity. First, Doppler is estimated independently by utilising unstructured maximum likelihood method. Next, traditional two-dimensional (2D) MUSIC is divided into multiple one-dimensional (1D) MUSIC to estimate the angle. Then substituting the estimated angle into the former 2D MUSIC results in a 1D searching over range dimension to get the range estimation. The advantage of the proposed method was verified by simulation results.
