Geometrical Ideas in Statistical Signal and Array Processing

Prof. Louis Scharf
University of Colorado at Boulder

Abstract

In this survey of geometries and invariances in signal processing I will review results in time-frequency distributions, multisuser communication, signal separation, equalization, filtering, and subspace tracking (a polyglot collection, to be sure) and show that in each case there is a fascinating geometry underlying the linear algebraic solution. The value of these geometries is that they illuminate performance questions and suggest methods of rank reduction that might be used to improve the quality of a solution.
