contents Atomic norm minimization (ANM) has been extensively applied for gridless angle estimation. However, with the increase of the number of antennas and the communication frequencies in massive MIMO systems, the accompanying beam squint effect significantly degrades angle estimation accuracy. Existing solutions either address this issue only in the one-dimensional (1D) SIMO case, or decouple the two-dimensional (2D) angle estimation into two separate 1D problems, which fails to achieve the optimal solution. In this paper, we employ the multi-frequency model to characterize the beam squint effect in MIMO channels and propose a multi-frequency version of the ANM objective for corresponding 2D angle estimation. To efficiently retrieve the angle parameters, we prove the existence of the equivalent semi-definite program formulation of the ANM objective and develop an algorithm based on the alternating direction method of multipliers for its solutions. Moreover, we derive the certification conditions of this objective to guarantee the existence of a unique optimal solution.
