Using spatial spectrum estimation methods to resolve multipletargets at the same time needs more antennas
and has low accuracy of angle measurement with high calculation cost. Focusing on these problems
an estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques(ESPRIT)algorithm with speedy fourth-order cumulants(MFOC-E)is proposed. All non-repeated elements of the fourth-order cumulants matrix are selected to compose a new matrix according to the composing law of the fourth-order cumulants matrix so that the data redundancy of the primary matrix is removed and the dimension is reduced. Then a new sub-array which is the same as the primary real array is found through analyzing the position characteristic of the new virtual antenna
and a dividing sub-arrays method that adapts to all linear arrays is designed. Finally
the ESPRIT algorithm is used to estimate the directions of arrival(DOA). It is found by comparing with traditional similar algorithm that the MFOC-E algorithm reteins antenna aperture
and ensures high accuracy of angle measurement with lower computational cost. Simulation results show that the MFOC-E algorithm estimates DOA of more targets rapidly and exactlywith less antennas
and saves 30% calculation time with only three antennas.
