A separation algorithm for satellite-based AIS received signals based on SSA and RobustICA by Jiansen ZHAO, Zhihao TAN, Haiyan DUAN, Xia LIU, Shengzheng WANG

“…The Hankel matrix of the single-channel AIS signal is processed by singular value decomposition and reconstructed by time series respectively, SSA is used to replace whitening pre-processing in traditional independent component analysis (ICA), and the optimal step size of each iteration of the separation matrix is calculated using the kurtosis contrast function to quickly obtain the optimal separation matrix.ResultsThe simulation results show that the signal mean squared error (SMSE) value of S-RICA is stable at about 1.5 when the signal length changes, while the SMSE of fast independent component analysis (FastICA) is very unstable. …”
