In this article, we investigate the problem of target localization with a multiple-input–multiple-output (MIMO) and frequency diverse array MIMO (FDA-MIMO) dual-mode radar system. The signal model for this newly introduced radar system is presented in detail. On this basis, a computationally efficient method for joint angle and range estimation is proposed by taking advantage of the subspace principle. First, the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of each target is determined by utilizing the fused signal data received via this dual-mode radar. In order to solve the coupling of target range and direction-of-departure (DOD) in FDA-MIMO radar mode, we use the monostatic-like characteristics of the dual-mode radar to develop an effective decoupling method. More specifically, by employing the same eigenmatrix corresponding to MIMO and FDA-MIMO radar data, the coupling of DOD and range in the FDA-MIMO mode can be easily overcome, and the parameters can be successively estimated with automatic paring. Further, to make full use of the transmit array for DOD estimation, we propose to compensate the range information in the transmit array steering vector to achieve an improved estimate of the target DOD. Extensive simulation results are performed to show that the proposed approach can provide superior DOD and range estimation accuracy while maintaining DOA estimation performance under the presented dual-mode radar system, and does not require the design of additional parameter pairing strategies with low computational cost, exhibiting excellent target localization behavior.
