A new second order method for blind signal separation from convolutive mixtures

This paper presents a new approach to separate colored signals mixed by FIR (finite impulse response) and MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output) channels. A cost function is proposed by employing linear constrainit to the de mixing vectors. The linear constraint is shown to be sufficient for avoiding trivial solution. The minimization of the cost function is performed using the Lagrangian method. Simulation results demonstrate the performance of the algorithm.
