ABSTRACT:
A method for operating a communications device for separating M source signals provided by M signal sources includes receiving at K antenna arrays M different summations of the M source signals, where K<M. Each antenna array receives at least one different summation of the M source signals, with at least one of the antenna arrays receiving at least two different summations of the M source signals. The M different summations are used for forming a hybrid separation matrix as a function of the following: time differences between receipt of the M different summations of the M source signals by the K antenna arrays; a spatial fourth order cumulant matrix pencil based upon the time differences; a spatial correlation matrix based upon the spatial fourth order cumulant matrix; and steering vectors of the M different summations of the M source signals based upon the spatial correlation matrix. A signal separation processor multiplies the hybrid separation matrix by a time series matrix representation of the M different summations of the M source signals for separating the M source signals.
