摘　　要：盲源分离(BSS)在缺失源信号信息及信息混合方式信息的情况下,仅利用观测信号实现源信号恢复,是信号处理中的重要手段。欠定盲源分离(UBSS)中观测信号少于源信号数目,因此,相较于正定/超定情形,其更接近现实情况。然而,观测信号往往受到噪声干扰,传统基于2阶统计量和信号稀疏性的欠定盲源分离结果对噪声较为敏感。鉴于3阶统计量在处理对称分布噪声时的优势,该文利用观测信号的3阶统计信息实现混合矩阵的估计。考虑到源信号的自相关特性,计算多时延下观测信号一系列的3阶统计信息,并堆叠成4阶张量,进而将混合矩阵估计问题转化为4阶张量的典范双峰分解问题。该文进一步利用广义高斯模型和期望最大算法实现源信号的恢复。1000次蒙特卡罗实验表明该文算法能够有效抑制噪声的影响。针对3×4混合模型,当信噪比为15 dB时,该文算法对混合矩阵的平均估计误差达到–20.35 dB,所恢复出的源信号与真实源信号之间的平均绝对相关系数达0.84,与现有方法相比,取得了最好的分离结果。Blind Source Separation(BSS)aims to separate the source signals from the mixed observations without any information about the mixing process and the source signals,which is a major area in the signal processing field.In Underdetermined Blind Source Separation(UBSS),the number of observed signals is less than the number of source signals,and thus UBSS is much closer to reality than the determined/overdetermined BSS.However,the observations are always disturbed by noise,deteriorating the performance of traditional underdetermined blind source separation based on second-order statistics and signal sparsity.Taking the advantage of third-order statistics in dealing with symmetric noise,a novel mixing matrix estimation method based on the third-order statistics of the observations is proposed.Considering the autocorrelations of the sources,a sequence of third-order statistics of the observations corresponding to multiple delays are calculated and stacked into a fourth-order tensor.Then the mixing matrix is estimated via the canonical polyadic decomposition of the fourth-order tensor.Furthermore,the generalized Gaussian distribution is employed to characterize the sources and the expectation-maximum algorithm is utilized to recover the sources.The results from 1000 Monte Carlo experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is robust to the noise.The proposed method archives the normalized mean square error of–20.35 dB and the mean absolute correlation coefficient between the recovered sources and the real ones of 0.84 when the signal to noise ratios equal to 15dB for the cases with 3×4 mixing matrices.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm yields superior performances in comparing with state-of-the-art underdetermined blind source separation methods.
