Under-determined blind source separation aims to separate N non-stationary sources from M (M<N) mixtures.Paper presents a time-frequency approach (TF) to under-determined blind source separation of N non-stationary sources from M mixtures(M<N). It is based on Wigner-Ville distribution and Khatri-Rao product. Improved method involves a two step approach which involves the estimation of the mixing matrix where negative values of auto WVD of the sources are fully considered and secondly auto-term TF points are extracted.After extracting the auto-term TF points source WVD values at every TF point are computed using a new algorithm based on Khatri-Rao product. Thus sources are separated with the proposed approach no matter how many active sources there are as long as N≤ 2M-1.Simulation results are presented to show the superiority of the proposed algorithm by comparing it with the existing algorithms.

In recent years, the problem of underdetermined blind source separation (UBSS) has become a research hotspot due to its practical potential. This paper presents a novel method to solve the problem of UBSS, which mainly includes the following three steps: Single source points (SSPs) are first screened out using the principal component analysis (PCA) approach, which is based on the statistical features of signal time-frequency (TF) points. Second, a mixing matrix estimation method is proposed that combines Ordering Points To Identify the Clustering Structure (OPTICS) with an improved potential function to directly detect the number of source signals, remove noise points, and accurately calculate the mixing matrix vector; it is independent of the input parameters and offers great accuracy and robustness. Finally, an improved subspace projection method is used for source signal recovery, and the upper limit for the number of active sources at each mixed signal is increased from m−1 to m. The unmixing process of the proposed algorithm is symmetrical to the actual signal mixing process, allowing it to accurately estimate the mixing matrix and perform well in noisy environments. When compared to previous methods, the source signal recovery accuracy is improved. The method’s effectiveness is demonstrated by both theoretical and experimental results.

A novel blind source separation (BSS) algorithm for linear mixture signals is proposed. It is shown that the property can be used to separate source signals by finding an un-mixing matrix that maximizes the cost function value of separated signals. Simulation results illustrate the efficiency and the good performance of the algorithm.

In structural dynamic analysis, the blind source separation (BSS) technique has been accepted as one of the most effective ways for modal identification, in which how to extract the modal parameters using very limited sensors is a highly challenging task in this field. In this paper, we first review the drawbacks of the conventional BSS methods and then propose a novel underdetermined BSS method for addressing the modal identification with limited sensors. The proposed method is established on the clustering features of time-frequency (TF) transform of modal response signals. This study finds that the TF energy belonging to different monotone modals can cluster into distinct straight lines. Meanwhile, we provide the detailed theorem to explain the clustering features. Moreover, the TF coefficients of each modal are employed to reconstruct all monotone signals, which can benefit to individually identify the modal parameters. In experimental validations, two experimental validations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
