| Summary: | Due to grid division, the existing target localization algorithms based on sparse signal recovery for the frequency diverse array multiple-input multiple-output (FDA-MIMO) radar not only suffer from high computational complexity but also encounter significant estimation performance degradation caused by off-grid gaps. To tackle the aforementioned problems, an effective off-grid Sparse Bayesian Learning (SBL) method is proposed in this paper, which enables the calculation the direction of arrival (DOA) and range estimates. First of all, the angle-dependent component is split by reconstructing the received data and contributes to immediately extract rough DOA estimates with the root SBL algorithm, which, subsequently, are utilized to obtain the paired rough range estimates. Furthermore, a discrete grid is constructed by the rough DOA and range estimates, and the 2D-SBL model is proposed to optimize the rough DOA and range estimates. Moreover, the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm is utilized to update the grid points iteratively to further eliminate the errors caused by the off-grid model. Finally, theoretical analyses and numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.
