Abstract
This paper presents a novel SParse Iterative Covariance-based Estimation approach, abbreviated as SPICE, to array processing. The proposed approach is obtained by the minimization of a covariance matrix fitting criterion and is particularly useful in many-snapshot cases but can be used even in single-snapshot situations. SPICE has several unique features not shared by other sparse estimation methods: it has a simple and sound statistical foundation, it takes account of the noise in the data in a natural manner, it does not require the user to make any difficult selection of hyperparameters, and yet it has global convergence properties.

A numerical implementation of gridless compressed sensing

TL;DR: The complexity of the proposed algorithm is proportional to the complexity of a single-parameter search in the parameter space and thus in many interesting cases, including frequency estimation it enjoys fast realization.
