ABSTRACT:
A technique for separating a signal associated with a first source from a mixture of the first source signal and a signal associated with a second source comprises the following steps/operations. First, two signals respectively representative of two mixtures of the first source signal and the second source signal are obtained. Then, the first source signal is separated from the mixture in a non-linear signal domain using the two mixture signals and at least one known statistical property associated with the first source and the second source, and without a need to use a reference signal.
