N2 - We present extended Cantor arrays based on fourth-order difference co-arrays (E-FO-Cantor). These arrays result from extending the recently proposed fractal arrays to fourth-order difference co-arrays, and lead to fourth-order difference co-arrays that are hole-free. The set of sensor positions of the E-FO-Cantor is expressed in a simple and recursive form. The proposed Cantor arrays lead to O(N2 log2 3) ≈ O(N3.17) degrees of freedom compared to O(N2) that can be achieved by existing sparse arrays with the hole-free property. Compared with other sparse arrays with the hole-free property in their fourth-order co-arrays, the proposed Cantor arrays provide a longer uniform linear array with more virtual sensors, leading to better DOA estimation performance.
