Adaptive Robust Super-exponential Algorithms for Deflationary Blind Equalization of Instantaneous Mixtures

摘要

The so called "super-exponential" algorithms (SEA's) are attractive algorithms for solving blind signal processing problems. The conventional SEA's, however, have such a drawback that they are very sensitive to Gaussian noise. To overcome this drawback, we propose a new SEA. While the conventional SEA's use the second- and higher-order cumulants of observations, the proposed SEA uses only the higher-order cumulants of observations. Since higher-order cumulants are insensitive to Gaussian noise, the proposed SEA is robust to Gaussian noise, which is referred to as a robust super-exponential algorithm (RSEA). The proposed RSEA is implemented as an adaptive algorithm, which is referred to as an adaptive robust super-exponential algorithm (ARSEA). To show the validity of the ARSEA, some simulation results are presented.
