A new way of accurately determining peaks of the MUSIC spectrum, here considered from the point of view of estimating the directions of arrival (DOAs) of narrowband signals. It can be used, with any smart antenna geometry and for any purpose where MUSIC is applicable. The MUSIC algorithm for DOA estimation evaluates the MUSIC spectrum for various angles and chooses the maxima or peaks as the angles of arrival. The values obtained depend on the interval at which the spectrum is evaluated. The coarser the interval, the less accurate are the results in case of MUSIC. To improve accuracy and not depend on the interval, Root-MUSIC, which involves finding the roots of a polynomial, is available. However, Root-MUSIC is applicable, in its original form, only to uniform linear arrays (ULA). The gold-MUSIC algorithm proposed in this paper is a two-stage process. The first stage evaluates the objective function at coarse intervals and determines peaks followed by an iterative approach based on gold-section univariate(GSU) minimization to find accurate values of the peaks. A method, based on a partitioning algorithm for estimating the number of emitters is also described.
