EXTRACTION OF COMMON AND UNIQUE COMPONENTS FROM PAIRS OF ARBITRARY SIGNALS

摘要

A digital signal processing system and method transforms two time-domain signals into the frequency domain. Vector operations are performed upon the frequency-domain data by which signal components unique to one of the input signals are routed to one of the output signals, signal components unique to the other of the input signals are routed to another of the output signals, and signal components common to both signals are routed to a third and optionally to a fourth output signal. The frequency-domain output signals are then transformed back into the time-domain, forming an equivalent number of signals of output data. The vector operations are performed in a manner that preserves the overall information content of the input data.
