This paper extends a recent geometric BCA approach introduced for the instantaneous mixing problem to the convolutive mixing problem. The paper proposes novel deterministic convolutive BCA frameworks for the blind source extraction and blind source separation of convolutive mixtures of sources which allows the sources to be potentially nonstationary. The global maximizers of the proposed deterministic BCA optimization settings are proved to be perfect separators. The paper also illustrates that the iterative algorithms corresponding to these frameworks are capable of extracting/separating convolutive mixtures of not only independent sources but also dependent (even correlated) sources in both component (space) and sample (time) dimensions through simulations based on a Copula distributed source system. In addition, even when the sources are independent, it is shown that the proposed BCA approach have the potential to provide improvement in separation performance especially for short data records based on the setups involving convolutive mixtures of digital communication sources.EngineeringElectrical electronic engineeringA convolutive bounded component analysis framework for potentially nonstationary independent and/or dependent sourcesJournal Article1941-0476346630900002Q12417
