Minimum-Variance Deconvolution

The purpose of this paper is to make the Mendel/Kormylo minimum-variance deconvolution (MVD) procedure, that is based on a state-space model of a signal distortion system and is derived from estimation theory, more accessible to users and potential users. The following aspects of their MVD procedure are covered: how to obtain the order and parameters in a state space model of a signal distortion system; signal-to-noise ratio as a filter tuning parameter; scaled MVD equations; and, MVD filter transfer functions.
