Provided is an array antenna divided into a plurality of sub-arrays disposed along a first dimension, wherein each sub-array comprises: a plurality of frequency scannable elements disposed along the first dimension and a plurality of phase shifters or transmit/receive (T/R) modules disposed along a second spatial dimension, each phase shifter or T/R module connected to a plurality of frequency scannable elements disposed along the first spatial dimension; and one or more processors being configured to generate a recurring radar waveform having a transmit portion, the transmit portion having multiple successive pulses at different frequencies to generate transmit beams by the array antenna at different angles in the first dimension; control at least one of the plurality of phase shifters or T/R modules along the second dimension to cause the transmit beams to be generated by the array antenna at different angles in the second dimension; and process return signals received by the plurality of sub-arrays to estimate a target location.
