For LEO Satellite Networks: Intelligent Interference Sensing and Signal Reconstruction Based on Blind Separation Technology

In LEO satellite communication networks,the number of satellites has increased sharply, the relative velocity of satellites is very fast, then electronic signal aliasing occurs from time to time. Those aliasing signals make the receiving ability of the signal receiver worse, the signal processing ability weaker,and the anti-interference ability of the communication system lower. Aiming at the above problems, to save communication resources and improve communication efficiency, and considering the irregularity of interference signals, the underdetermined blind separation technology can effectively deal with the problem of interference sensing and signal reconstruction in this scenario. In order to improve the stability of source signal separation and the security of information transmission, a greedy optimization algorithm can be executed. At the same time, to improve network information transmission efficiency and prevent algorithms from getting trapped in local optima, delete low-energy points during each iteration process. Ultimately, simulation experiments validate that the algorithm presented in this paper enhances both the transmission efficiency of the network transmission system and the security of the communication system, achieving the process of interference sensing and signal reconstruction in the LEO satellite communication system.

The Research of Blind Source Separation (BSS) in Machinery Fault Diagnosis

Blind source separation (BSS) technology is very useful in many fields, such as communication, radar and so on. Because of the advantage of BSS that it can separate multi-sources even not knowing the mix-coefficient and the probability distribution, it can also be used in fault diagnosis. In this paper, we first use the BSS to deal with the sound from the machinery in fault diagnosis. We make a simulation of two sound sources and four sensors to test the result. Each source is a narrow-band source, which is composed of several sine waves. The result shows that the two sources can be well separated from the mixed signals. So we can draw a conclusion that BSS can improve the technology of sound fault diagnosis, especially in rotating machinery.

Application of particle swarm optimization blind source separation technology in fault diagnosis of gearbox

Blind source separation (BBS) technology was applied to vibration signal processing of gearbox for separating different fault vibration sources and enhancing fault information. An improved BSS algorithm based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) was proposed. It can change the traditional fault-enhancing thought based on de-noising. And it can also solve the practical difficult problem of fault location and low fault diagnosis rate in early stage. It was applied to the vibration signal of gearbox under three working states. The result proves that the BSS greatly enhances fault information and supplies technological method for diagnosis of weak fault.

Algorithm for source recovery in underdetermined blind source separation based on plane pursuit

In order to achieve accurate recovery signals under the underdetermined circumstance in a comparatively short time,an algorithm based on plane pursuit(PP) is proposed. The proposed algorithm selects the atoms according to the correlation between received signals and hyper planes, which are composed by column vectors of the mixing matrix, and uses these atoms to recover source signals. Simulation results demonstrate that the PP algorithm has low complexity and higher accuracy as compared with basic pursuit(BP), orthogonal matching pursuit(OMP), and adaptive sparsity matching pursuit(ASMP) algorithms.

The simulation result shows that the efficiency of the new BSS method is obviously higher than that of the Conventional Genetic Algorithm (CGA).

A Modal Identification Algorithm Combining Blind Source Separation and State Space Realization

A modal identification algorithm is developed, combining techniques from Second Order Blind Source Separation (SOBSS) and State Space Realization (SSR) theory. In this hybrid algorithm, a set of correlation matrices is generated using time-shifted, analytic data and assembled into several Hankel matrices. Dissimilar left and right matrices are found, which diagonalize the set of nonhermetian Hankel matrices. The complex-valued modal matrix is obtained from this decomposition. The modal responses, modal auto-correlation functions and discrete-time plant matrix (in state space modal form) are subsequently identified. System eigenvalues are computed from the plant matrix to obtain the natural frequencies and modal fractions of critical damping. Joint Approximate Diagonalization (JAD) of the Hankel matrices enables the under determined (more modes than sensors) problem to be effectively treated without restrictions on the number of sensors required. Because the analytic signal is used, the redundant complex conjugate pairs are eliminated, reducing the system order (number of modes) to be identified half. This enables smaller Hankel matrix sizes and reduced computational effort. The modal auto-correlation functions provide an expedient means of screening out spurious computational modes or modes corresponding to noise sources, eliminating the need for a consistency diagram. In addition, the reduction in the number of modes enables the modal responses to be identified when there are at least as many sensors as independent (not including conjugate pairs) modes. A further benefit of the algorithm is that identification of dissimilar left and right diagonalizers preclude the need for windowing of the analytic data. The effectiveness of the new modal identification method is demonstrated using vibration data from a 6 DOF simulation, 4-story building simulation and the Heritage court tower building.

Neutron-gamma discrimination method based on blind source separation and machine learning

The discrimination of neutrons from gamma rays in a mixed radiation field is crucial in neutron detection tasks.Several approaches have been proposed to enhance the performance and accuracy of neutron-gamma discrimination.However,their performances are often associated with certain factors,such as experimental requirements and resulting mixed signals.The main purpose of this study is to achieve fast and accurate neutron-gamma discrimination without a priori information on the signal to be analyzed,as well as the experimental setup.Here,a novel method is proposed based on two concepts.The first method exploits the power of nonnegative tensor factorization(NTF)as a blind source separation method to extract the original components from the mixture signals recorded at the output of the stilbene scintillator detector.The second one is based on the principles of support vector machine(SVM)to identify and discriminate these components.In addition to these two main methods,we adopted the Mexican-hat function as a continuous wavelet transform to characterize the components extracted using the NTF model.The resulting scalograms are processed as colored images,which are segmented into two distinct classes using the Otsu thresholding method to extract the features of interest of the neutrons and gamma-ray components from the background noise.We subsequently used principal component analysis to select the most significant of these features wich are used in the training and testing datasets for SVM.Bias-variance analysis is used to optimize the SVM model by finding the optimal level of model complexity with the highest possible generalization performance.In this framework,the obtained results have verified a suitable bias–variance trade-off value.We achieved an operational SVM prediction model for neutron-gamma classification with a high true-positive rate.The accuracy and performance of the SVM based on the NTF was evaluated and validated by comparing it to the charge comparison method via figure of merit.The results indicate that the proposed approach has a superior discrimination quality(figure of merit of 2.20).

Online blind source separation based on joint diagonalization

A new algorithm is proposed for joint diagonalization. With a modified objective function, the new algorithm not only excludes trivial and unbalanced solutions successfully, but is also easily optimized. In addition, with the new objective function, the proposed algorithm can work well in online blind source separation (BSS) for the first time, although this family of algorithms is always thought to be valid only in batch-mode BSS by far. Simulations show that it is a very competitive joint diagonalization algorithm.

Blind source separation by weighted K-means clustering

Blind separation of sparse sources (BSSS) is discussed. The BSSS method based on the conventional K-means clustering is very fast and is also easy to implement. However, the accuracy of this method is generally not satisfactory. The contribution of the vector x(t) with different modules is theoretically proved to be unequal, and a weighted K-means clustering method is proposed on this grounds. The proposed algorithm is not only as fast as the conventional K-means clustering method, but can also achieve considerably accurate results, which is demonstrated by numerical experiments.

Single channel blind source separation based on ICA feature extraction

A new technique is proposed to solve the blind source separation (BSS) given only a single channel observation. The basis functions and the density of the coefficients of source signals learned by ICA are used as the prior knowledge. Based on the learned prior information the learning rules of single channel BSS are presented by maximizing the joint log likelihood of the mixed sources to obtain source signals from single observation, in which the posterior density of the given measurements is maximized. The experimental results exhibit a successful separation performance for mixtures of speech and music signals.

Blind source separation of ship-radiated noise based on generalized Gaussian model

When the distribution of the sources cannot be e stimated accurately, the ICA algorithms failed to separate the mixtures blindly. The generalized Gaussian model (GGM) is presented in ICA algorithm since it can model non-Gaussian statistical structure of different source signals easily. B y inferring only one parameter, a wide class of statistical distributions can be characterized. By using maximum likelihood (ML) approach and natural gradient d escent, the learning rules of blind source separation (BSS) based on GGM are pre sented. The experiment of the ship-radiated noise demonstrates that the GGM can model the distributions of the ship-radiated noise and sea noise efficiently, and the learning rules based on GGM gives more successful separation results aft er comparing it with several conventional methods such as high order cumulants a nd Gaussian mixture density function.

Underdetermined DOA estimation and blind separation of non-disjoint sources in time-frequency domain based on sparse representation method

This paper deals with the blind separation of nonstationary sources and directionofarrival(DOA) estimation in the underdetermined case, when there are more sources than sensors. We assume the sources to be timefrequency(TF) disjoint to a certain extent. In particular, the number of sources presented at any TF neighborhood is strictly less than that of sensors. We can identify the real number of active sources and achieve separation in any TF neighborhood by the sparse representation method. Compared with the subspacebased algorithm under the same sparseness assumption, which suffers from the extra noise effect since it cannot estimate the true number of active sources, the proposed algorithm can estimate the number of active sources and their corresponding TF values in any TF neighborhood simultaneously. Another contribution of this paper is a new estimation procedure for the DOA of sources in the underdetermined case, which combines the TF sparseness of sources and the clustering technique. Simulation results demonstrate the validity and high performance of the proposed algorithm in both blind source separation(BSS) and DOA estimation.

Source Recovery in Underdetermined Blind Source Separation Based on Artificial Neural Network

We propose a novel source recovery algorithm for underdetermined blind source separation, which can result in better accuracy and lower computational cost. On the basis of the model of underdetermined blind source separation, the artificial neural network with single-layer perceptron is introduced into the proposed algorithm. Source signals are regarded as the weight vector of single-layer perceptron, and approximate ι~0-norm is taken into account for output error decision rule of the perceptron, which leads to the sparse recovery. Then the procedure of source recovery is adjusting the weight vector of the perceptron. What's more, the optimal learning factor is calculated and a descent sequence of smoothed parameter is used during iteration, which improves the performance and significantly decreases computational complexity of the proposed algorithm. The simulation results reveal that the algorithm proposed can recover the source signal with high precision, while it requires lower computational cost.

Blind source separation based on generalized gaussian model

Since in most blind source separation(BSS)algorithms the estimations of probability density function(pdf)of sources are fixed or can only switch between one sup-Gaussian and other sub-Gaussian model,they may not be efficient to separate sources with different distributions.So to solve the problem of pdf mismatch and the separation of hybrid mixture in BSS,the generalized Gaussian model(GGM)is introduced to model the pdf of the sources since it can provide a general structure of univariate distributions.Its great advantage is that only one parameter needs to be determined in modeling the pdf of different sources,so it is less complex than Gaussian mixture model.By using maximum likelihood(ML)approach,the convergence of the proposed algorithm is improved.The computer simulations show that it is more efficient and valid than conventional methods with fixed pdf estimation.
