Frequency diverse array multiple-input multiple-output (FDA-MIMO) radar can produce time-stationary range-angle dependent beampattern. The problem with these beampatterns is the repeating lobes in the angle-range domain. Different methods are proposed to obtain better beampattern in terms of grating lobe and sidelobe suppression by using frequency offsets. However, these methods mostly choose the frequency offsets using an analytic expression and do not offer a control on the resulting range beampattern. In this paper, a new method for transmit beampattern design in range is presented. This method transfers the design problem into a tangential space and solves the problem using complex manifolds through an optimization procedure. The proposed approach considers amplitude tapering in the transmitter antenna elements and the practical instrumented range of the radar. Range beampattern constraints can be defined conveniently leading to an effective design process. Several simulations are done to show that the proposed method can significantly improve the beamwidth and sidelobe level in range patterns.
