Super-resolution time of arrival estimation methods have attracted much attention in radar signal processing. Many studies have used compressed sensing (CS)-based approaches to attain the super-resolution property because they assume sparseness of temporal distribution of target signal. However, this approach still suffer from accuracy degradation when decomposing highly correlated signals in heavily noise-contaminated situations. To resolve this problem, this study introduces an enhanced CS method by exploiting the sparseness of the signals in terms of both time and frequency domains. Numerical simulation and comparison with results obtained by conventional methods demonstrate that the proposed method considerably enhances the reconstruction accuracy for multiple highly correlated signals in lower signal-to-noise ratio situations.
