This paper addresses the problem of four-dimensional angle and Doppler frequency estimation for bistatic multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) radar with arbitrary arrays in spatial colored noise. A novel method for joint estimation of Doppler frequency, two-dimensional(2D) direction of departure and 2D direction of arrival based on the propagator method(PM) for arbitrary arrays is discussed. A special matrix is constructed to eliminate the influence of spatial colored noise. The four-dimensional(4D) angle and Doppler frequency are extracted from the matrix and the threedimensional(3D) coordinates of the targets are then calculated on the basis of these angles. The proposed algorithm provides a lower computational complexity and has a parameter estimation very close to that of the ESPRIT algorithm and the DOA-matrix algorithm in the high signal to noise ratio and the Cram ′er-Rao bound(CRB) is given. Furthermore, multi-dimensional parameters can be automatically paired by this algorithm to avoid performance degradation resulting from wrong pairing. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
