Patent ID: 8170152

Claim:
A method for signal identification comprising the steps of: receiving a single, non-parallel waveform with no fixed preprocessing; converting said waveform to time samples; dividing said waveform time samples into segments; detecting at least one signal for each of said segments; classifying said segments as belonging to signal or noise; identifying a plurality of signals detected based on singular value decomposition (SVD) of a specific arrangement of signal-only segments; and identifying said at least one signal wherein vectors corresponding to dominant singular values of said at least one received signal correspond to basis functions, said basis functions designating signal type, wherein finding said basis functions of said at least one signal comprises: subjecting a time-synchronized matrix to a second singular value decomposition (SVD), producing a matrix whose diagonal elements correspond to singular values of said at least one signal and columns of U output matrix correspond to basis vectors of said at least one detected signal.
