Separation of instantaneous mixtures of cyclostationary sources with application to digital communication signals

In this contribution, we provide a simple condition on the statistics of the source signals ensuring that the Comon algorithm [2], originally designed for stationary data, achieves the separation of an instantaneous mixture of cyclostationary sources. The above condition is analyzed for digital communications signals and is (semi-analytically) proved to be fulfilled.
