In addition the proposed algorithm can be applied in arbitrary Gaussian noise environment since it is based on the fourth-order cumulants which is verified by extensive computer simulations. Keywords and phrases array signal processing DOA estimate range estimate frequency estimate fourth-order cumulant. 1. INTRODUCTION In array signal processing there exist many methods to estimate the directions of arrival DOAs of far-field sources impinging on an array of sensors 1 such as MUSIC ESPRIT and so forth. Most of these methods make an assumption that sources locate relatively far from the array and thus the wavefronts from the sources can be regarded as plane waves. Based on this assumption each source location can be characterized by a single DOA 1 . When the source is close to the array namely in the near-field case however this assumption is no longer valid. The near-field sources
