We consider a multiple-input-multiple-output radar system and derive a
theoretical framework for the recoverability of targets in the azimuth-range
domain and the azimuth-range-Doppler domain via sparse approximation
algorithms. Using tools developed in the area of compressive sensing, we prove
bounds on the number of detectable targets and the achievable resolution in the
presence of additive noise. Our theoretical findings are validated by numerical
simulations
