‡ Signal processing technique to identify & estimate the unknown s/m
‡ Requires information on i/p and o/p
‡ Requires training sequences (pulses) to identify s/m
‡ Time consuming + BW inefficient
‡ Straight forward and effective

‡ Blind system identification (BSI) retrieves a system¶s unknown
information from its output only
‡ Source signal u[n] and system H[n] are unknown
 |
@ BSI retrieves a system¶s unknown information from a set of
discrete time measurements
@ Suitable when data are generated from an unknown system
driven by an unknown input.
@ The task is to identify the input and/or the system function only
from the output measurements
@ The word ³blind´ means that the system¶s input is not available
@ Also known as blind equalization, deconvolution

 
 
 |
‡ Parameter model for the s/m of interest is often used
‡ Common parametric models used
± AR (all - zero)
± MA (all - pole)
± ARMA (pole - zero)
± FSBM (parametric frequency domain model)

‡ Statistical properties of the transmitted signals are

exploited to carry out the exploitation at the receiver
without access to transmitted signals

@ Echo cancellation is necessary when the original speech signal is corrupted by
the acoustics of the surrounding environment
@ Acoustics dependent on
 Aeometry
 materials of the room
 speaker¶s location, thus echo is ever changing.
@ Speech signal is unobservable and the acoustics of the surrounding are
unknown, BSI can be used in adaptive cancellation of the echo

@ In exploration seismology a charge of dynamite is exploded in
the earth and a geophone is used to receive the reflected and/or
diffracted signal.
@ This signal is used to estimate the reflection coefficients, which
are associated with the impulse responses of the various layers
in the earth
@ The received signal is made up of echoes produced at the
different earth layers in response to the excitation

By A. Zerva & P.Y. Bard in 2000
‡ A blind deconvolution methodology for SI is presented

‡ Requires two or more recorded time histories, resulted from the

convolution of a common input with the impulse response functions
of channels with different properties

‡ No prior information on the input or the channels is necessary

‡ The methodology is based on the reconstruction of signals from

information on their phase (considering channel is non-minimum
phase)
‡ The approach retains the channel characteristics and identifies them
in both time and frequency domains

‡ Input can be recovered by deconvolution of each recorded time

history with the corresponding channel impulse response

‡ An example application of the approach to synthetic seismic ground

motion data is also presented
