We combine the concepts of evolutionary spectrum and array processing. We present a cross-power stationary periodogram for both direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation and blind separation of nonstationary signals. We model the nonstationary signals received by each array sensor as a sum of complex sinusoids with time-varying amplitudes. These magnitudes carry information about the DOA that may also be time-varying. We first estimate the time-varying amplitudes using estimators obtained by minimizing the mean-squared error. Then using the estimated time-varying amplitudes, we estimate the evolutionary cross-power distributions of the sensor. Next, using cross-power estimates at time-frequency points interest, we estimate the DOAs using one of the existing methods. If the directions are time varying, we choose time-frequency points around the time of interest to estimate spontaneous source locations. If the sources are stationary, time-frequency points of interest can be combined for the estimation of fixed directions. Whitening and subspace methods used to find the mixing matrix and separate nonstationary signals received by the array. We present examples illustrating the performance of the proposed algorithms
