Abstract

In this paper, we propose a separation algorithm for weakly correlated source signals. At present, there are many blind source separation algorithms based on independent component analysis, which can only deal with the separation of uncorrelated source signals. However, the assumption that the source signals are independent is too strict in practical application, so the application of the separation algorithm is limited. The proposed weak correlation source signal separation algorithm is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the correlation matrices of mixed signals are first decomposed into two parts, and then their image matrices are introduced. Finally, the objective function is constructed. Using the iterative algorithm to compute this function, we prove that when the function tends to zero, similar matrices of independent parts of the aforementioned correlation matrices are obtained. In the second stage, the joint diagonal matrix model is established by using these similarity matrices, and finally the separable separation matrix is obtained by optimizing the model so as to achieve the purpose of separating the source signals. Simulation experiments also verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.
