The FF-BSS systems have some degrees of freedom in the solution space, and signal distortion is likely to occur in convolutive mixtures. On the other hand, the FB-BSS structure does not cause signal distortion. However, it requires a condition on the propagation delays in the mixing process. In this paper, source separation performance in the FB-BSS is theoretically analyzed taking the propagation delays into account. Simulation is carried out by using white signals and speech signals as the signal sources. The FF-BSS system and the FB-BSS system are compared. Even though the FB-BSS can provide good separation performance, there exits some limitation on location of the signal sources and the sensors. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007., 金沢大学大学院自然科学研究科情報システム}, pages = {169--179}, title = {Analysis and comparative study of source separation performances in feed-forward and feed-back BSSs based on propagation delays in convolutive mixture}, volume = {4668 LNCS - I}, year = {2007} }
