An underdetermined direction of arrival (DOA) estimation method of wideband linear frequency modulated (LFM) signals is proposed without grid mismatch. According to the concentration property of LFM signal in the fractional Fourier (FRF) domain, the received sparse model of wideband signals with time-variant steering vector is firstly derived based on a coprime array. Afterwards, by interpolating virtual sensors, a virtual extended uniform linear array (ULA) is constructed with more degrees of freedom, and its covariance matrix in the FRF domain is recovered by employing sparse matrix reconstruction. Meanwhile, in order to avoid the grid mismatch problem, the modified atomic norm minimization is used to retrieve the covariance matrix with the consecutive basis. Different from the existing methods that approximately assume the frequency and the steering vector of the wideband signals are time-invariant in every narrowband frequency bin, the proposed method not only can directly solve more DOAs of LFM signals than the number of physical sensors with time-variant frequency and steering vector, but also obtain higher resolution and more accurate DOA estimation performance by the gridless sparse reconstruction. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
