Online blind equalisation algorithm of an FIR MIMO channel system for non-stationary signals

Blind equalisation of an FIR multi-input multi-output channel system is an important task for numerous applications such as speech separation, de-reverberation, communication, signal processing and control, etc. In this paper, a cost function with the knowledge of correlation is reconstructed and a new online algorithm derived with a natural gradient search method for blind source separation of convolutional mixtures. Its implementation is simple and practical. Furthermore, the equivariance property is possessed by the algorithm. Simulations indicate the ability of the algorithm to perform blind equalisation under the weaker condition (the FIR system is equalisable) and also to make speech separation and de-reverberation simultaneous.
