In this paper we propose to combine known algorithms for blind equalization in order to exploit their desirable properties to reach this goal. A switching criterion is proposed which is based on the change in the equalizer impulse response between iterations of the adaption algorithm and may be used to detect changes of the channel impulse response. Algorithms under consideration include Godard's algorithm, stop-and-go algorithm, and tricepstrum equalization algorithm (TEA).","PeriodicalId":305928,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE Signal Processing Workshop on Higher-Order Statistics","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123137821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They introduce three applications developed to perform the monitoring of Electricite de France civil works and power plants. The first application concerns the monitoring of nuclear power plants. Each internal component generates specific vibration modes and \"neutron noise\" which is a combination of all modes generated. The aim of this study is to separate such independent vibration modes. The second application concerns dams supervision: it consists in separating the various types of motion of a dam according to their physical origin. The third application concerns nondestructive testing on steam generators in nuclear power plants. The aim is to reduce the flattening noise. The classical methods operate only when a noise reference is available. They propose to use a multi-sensor approach with the blind separation methods (the noise reference is not necessary). Considering the specifications of the signals, they obtain better performance using a two-order statistical algorithm than a higher-order statistical algorithm.","PeriodicalId":305928,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE Signal Processing Workshop on Higher-Order Statistics","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116490300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various methods have been proposed for instantaneous and convolutive mixtures of sources. Conventional antenna array processing techniques are based on the use of second order statistics but rest on restrictive assumptions. Thus, when a priori informations about the propagation or the geometry of the array are not available, the model can be generalized to a blind sources separation model. It supposes the statistical independence of the sources and their non-gaussianity. In this paper, we focus on the narrow band source separation problem embedded in wide band jammers. We show that the JADE algorithm made for instantaneous mixture is still valid in a wide band context where only the signals of interest are narrow-band. We also prove that a wide band signal tends to occupy all the degrees of freedom of the covariance matrix and modifies the signal subspace dimension.","PeriodicalId":305928,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE Signal Processing Workshop on Higher-Order Statistics","volume":"568 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113996522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The lung sound source in the airway is estimated using the prediction error of an all-pole filter based on higher-order statistics (AR-HOS), while the acoustic transmission through the lung parenchyma and chest wall is modeled by the transfer function of the same AR-HOS filter. The parametric bispectrum, using the estimated a/sub i/ coefficients of the AR-HOS model, is also calculated to elucidate the frequency characteristics of the modeled system. The implementation of this approach on pre-classified lung sound segments in known disease conditions, selected from teaching tapes, was examined. Experiments have shown that a reliable and consistent with current knowledge estimation of lung sound characteristics can be achieved using this method, even in the presence of additive Gaussian noise.","PeriodicalId":305928,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the IEEE Signal Processing Workshop on Higher-Order Statistics","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127697415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
