Deterministic Blind Separation of Sources Having Different Symbol Rates Using Tensor-Based Parallel Deflation

In this work, we address the problem of blind separation of non-synchronous statistically independent sources from underdetermined mixtures. A deterministic tensor-based receiver exploiting symbol rate diversity by means of parallel deflation is proposed. By resorting to bank of samplers at each sensor output, a set of third-order tensors is built, each one associated with a different source symbol period. By applying multiple Canonical Decompositions (CanD) on these tensors, we can obtain parallel estimates of the related sources along with an estimate of the mixture matrix. Numerical results illustrate the bit-error-rate performance of the proposed approach for some system configurations.
