Abstract

The Wigner bispectrum of multicomponent signals is studied, and its modified and reduced forms are introduced. A generalization of the presented forms to the Wigner higher-order spectra (WHOS), in the case of multicomponent signals, is provided. From our previous work it is known that cross terms removal (reduction) is possible for odd-order spectra with equal numbers of conjugated and nonconjugated terms. Here, we extend the analysis to even-order spectra. The theory is illustrated by examples.
