Joint DOA-range-polarization estimation with a novel radar system, i.e., spatially separated polarization sensitive random frequency diverse array based on multiple-input multiple-output (SS-PSRFDA-MIMO) radar, is discussed. The proposed array can obtain not only unambiguous range estimation but also polarization parameter estimation. Firstly, the signal model of SS-PSRFDA-MIMO radar is constructed. Secondly, dimension reduction multiple signal classification (DR-MUSIC) algorithm is extended to parameter estimation with the proposed array. Last, simulations demonstrate the proposed algorithm is effective to estimate parameter, and the performance of proposed array is better than that of polarization sensitive frequency diverse array based on MIMO radar. It is worth mentioning that the Cramér–Rao lower bound (CRLB) of range estimation with the proposed array is much lower than that of PSFDA-MIMO radar.
