ABSTRACT
Several blind source separation algorithms obtain a separat-
ing matrix by computing the congruence transformation that
"best" diagonalizes a collection of covariance matrices. Re-
cent methods avoid a pre-whitening phase and directly at-
tempt to compute a non-orthogonal diagonalizing congruence.
However, since the magnitude of the sources is unknown,
there is a fundamental indeterminacy on the norm of the rows
of the separating matrix. We show how this indeterminacy can
