Deconvolution of two different Gaussians

19 次查看(过去 30 天)
Hi all
I'm convolving two different Gaussians: straggling and espread. But when I deconvolve the resultant I see either straggling or "nonsense". Is it possible to deconvolve the resultant in such a way that I see espread? My code is attached.
Sorry, bit of a noob question.
Regards
Tim

If you know a priori that all the signals are Gaussians, then deconvolution would not be the best way to recover espread. You know that the mean and variance of Gaussian signals add under convolution, so just fit a Gaussian (e.g. with this Download) to the output y and subtract its mean and variance from the known mean and variance of 'straggling'.
x1 = linspace(0, 20, 512);
dt=(x1(2)-x1(1));
straggling = GaussianPDF(x1, 7.7, 0.1);
figure; hold on;
plot(x1, straggling);
espread = GaussianPDF(x1, 7.7, 1);
% espread = espread/max(espread);
plot(x1, espread);
y = conv(straggling, espread)*dt;
x2 = (0:numel(y)-1)*dt;
plot(x2, y);
grid on;
legend('Straggling', 'E-Spread', 'Convolution');
p=gaussfitn(x2',y',[],{0,[],[]},{0,[],[]} );
espreadRec=GaussianPDF(x1,p{3}-7.7, sqrt(p{4}-0.1^2));
figure;
plot(x1,espread,'o',x1,espreadRec,'-');
legend Original Recovered
grid on;

Thanks Matt.
This was the clue I was looking for:
"If you know a priori that all the signals are Gaussians, then deconvolution would not be the best way to recover espread. You know that the mean and variance of Gaussian signals add under convolution, so just fit a Gaussian (e.g. with this Download) to the output y and subtract its mean and variance from the known mean and variance of 'straggling'."

Since you deconvolve y by espread, of course you will get straggling. Presumably you meant to deconvolve by straggling -
a=deconv(y,straggling);
