Suppression of Gaussian noise using cumulants: a quantitative analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Higher-Order-Statistics (HOS) are being used in many areas of digital signal processing, e.g. in the eld of array processing. The main aim is often to suppress Gaussian noise. Mostly, the corresponding algorithms are applied to short data blocks, because only then the stationarity of the data needed for cumulant estimation is given. In many cases, not enough attention is paid to the fact that for short data blocks the suppression of Gaussian noise is small compared to the estimation error made because of the higher order of the cumulants. In this paper, the property of cumulants to suppress Gaussian noise is studied in detail. With an algorithm for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in the eld of array processing, the estimation errors that occur when using HOS are compared with the estimation errors that occur when using 2nd order statistics. A quantitative result will be given to show that for short data blocks the suppression of Gaussian noise with HOS doesn't lead to a better result than using 2nd order statistics.

Higher-order Narrow-band Array Processing
This communication deals with narrow-band array processing using higher-order cumulants. A versatile tensor formalism is presented and adopted throughout to handle higher-order statistics of complex multivariates. We essentially focus on the use 4th-order cumulants for source localization in the spirit of the modern "subspace" techniques. We discuss "full cumulant tensor" solutions and their "d...
متن کاملNew approaches without postprocessing to FIR system identification using selected order cumulants
In this paper, we address the problem of identifying the parameters of the nonminimum-phase FIR system from the cumulants of noisy output samples. The system is driven by an unobservable, zero-mean, independent and identically distributed (i.i.d) non-Gaussian signal. The measurement noise may be white Gaussian, colored MA, ARMA Gaussian processes, or even real noises. For this problem, two nove...
