A novel blind estimation algorithm

In this paper, we propose a cumulant-based blind signal estimation algorithm for estimating the channel matrix in an n-sensor m-source system. The only available information is the output of the n sensors. The algorithm first deduces the number of sources, which may be greater than or equal to the number of sensors, from the output cumulant matrix. Then, by suitably arranging the elements within that matrix, the entries of the original channel matrix are estimated row by row. Simulations results are given to illustrate the performance of the algorithm
