Multichannel Blind Deconvolution MBD is a powerful tool particularly for the identi?cation and estimation of dynamical systems in which a sensor, for measuring the input, is di?cult to place. This paper presents an MBD method, based on the Malliavin calculus MC stochastic calculus ofvariations.Thearterial network ismodeled asaFinite Impulse Response FIR?lter with unknown coe?cients. The source signal central arterial pressure CAP is also unknown. Assuming that many coe?cients of the FIR ?lter are time-varying, we have been able to get accurate estimation results for the source signal, even though the ?lter order is unknown. The time-varying?ltercoe?cientshavebeenestimatedthroughtheproposedMalliavincalculus-based method.Wehavebeenabletodeconvolvethemeasurementsandobtainboththesourcesignaland thearterial pathor?lter.Thepresented examples provethesuperiority oftheproposed method, ascomparedtoconventional methods. 1.Introduction In this paper, we present a new approach to monitor central arterial pressure using the Multichannel Blind Deconvolution MBD 1, 2.
