The absence of training signals from many kinds of transmission necessitates the widespread use of blind equalization and system identification. There have been many algorithms developed for these purposes, working with one- or two-dimensional signals and with single-input single-output or multiple-input multiple-output, real or complex systems. It is now time for a unified treatment of this subject, pointing out the common characteristics of these algorithms as well as learning from their different perspectives. "Blind Equalization and System Identification" provides such a unified treatment presenting theory, performance analysis, simulation, implementation and applications. This is a textbook for graduate courses in discrete-time random processes, statistical signal processing, and blind equalization and system identification. It contains material which will also interest researchers and engineers working in digital communications, source separation, speech processing, and other, similar applications.

The precise localization of radio frequency (RF) transmitters in outdoor environments has been an important research topic in various fields for several years. Nowadays, the functionalities of many electronic devices are based on the position data of a radiofrequency transmitter using a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). Spatially separated sensor scan measure the signal from the transmitter and estimate its location using parameters such as Time Of Arrival (ToA), Time Difference Of Arrival (TDOA), Received Signal Strength (RSS) or Direction Of Arrival (DOA). However, certain obstacles in the environment can cause reflection, diffraction, or scattering of the signal. This so called multipath effect affects the measurements for the precise location of the transmitter. Previous studies have discarded multipath information and have not considered it valuable for locating the transmitter. Some studies used ray tracing (RT) to create position fingerprints, without reference measurements, in a simulated scenario. Others tested this concept with real measurement data, but this proved to be a more cumbersome method due to practical problems in the outdoor environment. This thesis exploits the concept of Channel Impulse Response (CIR) to address the problem of precision in outdoor localization environments affected by multipath. The study aims to fill the research gap by combining multipath information from simulation with real measurements in a machine learning framework. The research question was whether the localization could be improved by combining real measurements with simulations. We propose a method that uses the multipath fingerprint information from RT simulation with reference transmitters to improve the location estimation. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we implemented a TDoA location system enhanced with multipath fingerprints in an outdoor scenario. This thesis investigated suburban and rural areas using well-defined reflective components to characterize the localization multipath pattern. The results confirm the possibility of using multipath effects with real measurements to enhance the localization in outdoor situations. Instead of rejecting the multipath information, we can use them as an additional source of information.

The focus of this thesis is on blind identification techniques for multi-input, multi-output (MIMO) systems. In this respect we study three problems: (1) & nbsp; The joint diagonalization problem. Joint diagonalization is an efficient tool for blind identification techniques for MIMO systems. In this thesis we discuss new adaptive joint orthogonal diagonalization algorithms based on optimization methods over the Stiefel manifold. (2) & nbsp;Blind identification of MIMO systems. We demonstrate that by using the second-oder statistics of the system outputs, by exploiting the non-stationarity of sources, and some mild conditions on the sources and the system, the impulse response of the MIMO system can be identified up to an inherent scaling and permutation ambiguity. An efficient two-step frequency domain algorithm for identifying the MIMO system then has been proposed. Numerical simulations verify the theoretical results and the performance of the new algorithm. (3) & nbsp; Real room blind source separation problem. The final part of the thesis focuses on the practical problem of blind source separation of mixed audio signals in a real room. The new proposed algorithm exploits the non-stationarity of audio signals to separate them from their mixtures recorded in a reverberant environment. This method has successfully been applied to real data acquired during extensive recording experiments done in different office rooms on the McMaster campus.
