Abstract

To determine the number of signals arriving on an array of sensors correctly is very important for most high resolution DOA (direction of arrival) estimation algorithms, the methods based on information theoretic criteria have good properties when there is a large snapshots, while it always leads to an error in the small snapshots field. A method based on the exact distribution of the eigenvalues of the sampling covariance matrix is proposed in the paper, it makes use of the model of information theoretic criteria at the same time, the new method has excellent performance when the snapshots is small, the computer simulation results prove the effective performance of the method.
