Abstract

In this paper, we address the problem of complex blind source separation (BSS), in particular, separation of nonstationary complex signals. It is known that, under certain conditions, complex BSS can be solved effectively by the so-called Strong Uncorrelating Transform (SUT), which simultaneously diagonalizes one Hermitian positive definite and one complex symmetric matrix. Our current work generalizes SUT to simultaneously diagonalize more than two matrices. A Conjugate Gradient (CG) algorithm for computing simultaneous SUT is developed on an appropriate manifold setting of the problem, namely complex oblique projective manifold. Performance of our method, in terms of separation quality, is investigated by several numerical experiments.
