Recently an instantaneous blind source separation (BSS) approach that exploits the bounded magnitude structure of digital communications signals has been introduced. In this paper, we introduce a deflationary adaptive algorithm based on this criterion and provide its convergence analysis. We show that the resulting algorithm is convergent to one of the globally optimal points that correspond to perfect separation. The simulation examples related to the separation of digital communication signals are provided to illustrate the convergence and the performance of the algorithm [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

In this paper, we consider model combination methods for adaptive filtering that perform unbiased estimation. In this widely studied framework, two adaptive filters are run in parallel, each producing unbiased estimates of an underlying linear model. The outputs of these two filters are combined using another adaptive algorithm to yield the final output of the system. Overall, we require that the final algorithm produce an unbiased estimate of the underlying model. We later specialize this framework where we combine one filter using the least-mean squares (LMS) update and the other filter using the least-mean fourth (LMF) update to decrease cross correlation in between the outputs and improve the overall performance. We study the steady-state performance of previously introduced methods as well as novel combination algorithms for stationary and nonstationary data. These algorithms use stochastic gradient updates instead of the variable transformations used in previous approaches. We explicitly provide steady-state analysis for both stationary and nonstationary environments. We also demonstrate close agreement with the introduced results and the simulations, and show for this specific combination, more than 2 dB gains in terms of excess mean square error with respect to the best constituent filter in the simulations.
