Abstract:In order to realize the blind separation of FH signals based on the needs of its networkstation sorting, most of existing approaches based on joint diagonalization for FH signals request the orthogonality exactly, whereas this requirement is always limited in many practical applications. In order to soften the terms, a new blind separation algorithm based on nonorthogonal joint diagonalization is proposed. The algorithm effectively obtains the autosource (timefrequency) TF points with the eigenmatrix structure through gradient norm based on noise reduction algorithm in timeslots area, computes a sequence of matrices of timefrequency distributions (TFDs), and then estimates the separate matrix through nonorthogonal joint diagonalization to realize blind source separation of mixed frequencyhopping signals. The results of the simulations illustrate that the proposed algorithm is effective in the blind separation of frequencyhopping signals, and the robustness is better than that of the other blind separation algorithms of frequencyhopping signals.
