Blind Source Separation for Mixture of Sinusoids with Near-Linear Computational Complexity

Abstract: We propose a multi-tone decomposition algorithm that can find the frequencies, amplitudes and phases of the fundamental sinusoids in a noisy observation sequence. Under independent identically distributed Gaussian noise, our method utilizes a maximum likelihood approach to estimate the relevant tone parameters from the contaminated observations. When estimating $M$ number of sinusoidal sources, our algorithm successively estimates their frequencies and jointly optimizes their amplitudes and phases. Our method can also be implemented as a blind source separator in the absence of the information about $M$. The computational complexity of our algorithm is near-linear, i.e., $\tilde{O}(N)$.
