Estimation of joint multi-parameters of near-field sources based on the fourth-order cumulant

A novel joint multi-parameters estimation method for near-field narrow-band sources is proposed. The frequencies, DOAs (direction of arrival, DOA) and ranges of near-field sources are directly estimated by the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of the constructed fourth-order cumulant matrices. The proposed method does not require any peak search and can be applied to arbitrary Gaussian noise environment. Compared with several existing methods, the proposed method avoids the loss of array aperture and reduces the computational complexity. The comprehensive simulation results demonstrate the validity of this new method.
