METHOD OF BLIND SIGNAL SEPARATION

摘要

A method of blind signal separation of convolutively mixed signals comprises firstly processing signals to produce second order independence. In a second step, and together with ranges of signal delay and rotation parameters, the resulting processed signals are used to determine delay and rotation parameters. These parameters implement at least one elementary paraunitary matrix and transform the processed signals into output signals with improvement in independence to at least a predominant part of a maximum extent obtainable over the parameter ranges. The output signals then become the next processed signals and the second step is iterated until independence ceases to be improved significantly. The latest output signals are then unmixed signals.
