Abstract: | Blind deconvolution of linear time-invariant (LTI) systems has received wide attention in various fields such as data communication and image processing. Blind deconvolution is concerned with the estimation of a desired input signal from a given set of measurements. This paper presents a technique for reconstructing the desired input from only the available corrupted data. The estimator is given in terms of an autoregressive moving average (ARMA) innovation model. This technique is based on higher order statistics (HOS) of a non-Gaussian output sequence in the presence of additive Gaussian or non-Gaussian noise. The algorithm solves a set of overdetermined linear equations using third-order cumulants of the given non-Gaussian measurements in the presence of additive Gaussian or non-Gaussian noise. The inverse filter is a finite impulse response (FIR) filter. Simulation results are provided to show the effectiveness of this method and compare it with a recently developed algorithm based on maximizing the magnitude of the kurtosis of estimate of the input excitation. |
