Multichannel Signal Enhancement in the Time Domain

After studying the single-channel signal enhancement problem in the STFT domain, we now propose to study the multichannel case, where the spatial information is taken into account, but in the time domain. We show how to exploit the ideas of variable span (VS) linear filtering to derive different kind of optimal filtering matrices.
