The linear frequency modulated (LFM) frequency agile radar (FAR) can synthesize a wide signal bandwidth through coherent processing while keeping the bandwidth of each pulse narrow. In this way, high range resolution profiles (HRRP) can be obtained without increasing the hardware system cost. Furthermore, the agility provides improved both robustness to jamming and spectrum efficiency. Motivated by the Newtonalized orthogonal matching pursuit (NOMP) for line spectral estimation problem, the NOMP for the FAR radar termed as NOMP-FAR is designed to process each coarse range bin to extract the HRRP and velocities of multiple targets, including the guide for determining the oversampling factor and the stopping criterion. In addition, it is shown that the target will cause false alarm in the nearby coarse range bins, a postprocessing algorithm is then proposed to suppress the ghost targets. Numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of NOMP-FAR.
