Algorithm

To start the separation algorithm, $\mbox{${\bm \gamma}$}$$_0$ is initialized to the zero-shifted impulse response data ${\mathbf{h}}\cdot$diag$(z^{\tau_i})$ , ignoring the tails of the base-leakage they may contain. Then $\mbox{${\bm \alpha}$}$$_0$ is estimated as the mean of ${\mathbf{h}}-$$\mbox{${\bm \gamma}$}$$_0$diag$(z^{-\tau_i})$ . This mean is then subtracted from ${\mathbf{h}}$ to produce ${\mathbf{b}}_1 = ({\mathbf{h}}-$   $\mbox{${\bm \alpha}$}$$_0)$diag$(z^{-\tau_i})$ which is then then converted to $\mbox{${\bm \gamma}$}$$_1 = {\mathbf{g}}_1 \cdot {\mathbf{w}}_1$ by a truncated SVD. A revised base-leakage estimate $\mbox{${\bm \alpha}$}$$_1$ is then formed as ${\mathbf{h}}-$$\mbox{${\bm \gamma}$}$$_1$diag$(z^{-\tau_i})$ , and so on, until convergence is achieved.
