Proposal of higher-order tensor independent component analysis for signal separation in multiple-input...

This paper proposes higher-order tensor independent component analysis (HOT-ICA). HOT-ICA is a tensor ICA that makes effective use of the relationships among the axes of a separating tensor. We deal with multiple-target signal separation in a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar system to detect respiration and heartbeat. Numerical physical experiments demonstrate the significance of the HOT-ICA which keeps the tensor structure unchanged to fully utilizes the high-dimensionality of the separation tensor.
