A new algorithm for the blind separation of mixed non-
white signals is proposed. After removing the second
order cross-correlation between the signals for zero time
delays (sphering), the signals are linearly transformed
in order to reveal common components that are still
existent within the signals. The linear transform is
accomplished by ltering the sphered signals using a
non-recursive lter which is equivalent to the summa-
tion of weighted time delayed signal values. This leads
to a non-zero cross-correlation that is used to eventu-
ally separate the signals. In this paper it is shown how
the lter coeÆcients are determined and how this prin-
ciple is applied to blind source separation.
