University of Notre Dame, Department of Electrical Engineering,IN 46556, USA ABSTRACT In this paper, we propose a new iterative algorithm to solve the blind deconvolution problem of MIMO-FIR channels driven by source signals which are temporally second-order uncorrelated but fourth-order correlated and spatially second- and fourth-order uncorrelated. In our new approach, to solve the blind deconvolution problem, we consider two stages: First, filtered source signals are extracted from the mixtures of source signals. Second, the source signals are recovered from the filtered source signals.
