In this paper, a new algorithm for calculating the QR decomposition (QRD) of a polynomial matrix is introduced. This algorithm amounts to transforming a polynomial matrix to upper triangular form by application of a series of paraunitary matrices such as elementary delay and rotation matrices. It is shown that this algorithm can also be used to formulate the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a polynomial matrix, which essentially amounts to diagonalizing a polynomial matrix again by application of a series of paraunitary matrices. Example matrices are used to demonstrate both types of decomposition. Mathematical proofs of convergence of both decompositions are also outlined. Finally, a possible application of such decompositions in multichannel signal processing is discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An algorithm for computing the eigenvalue decomposition of a para-Hermitian polynomial matrix is described. This amounts to diagonalizing the polynomial matrix by means of a paraunitary "similarity" transformation. The algorithm makes use of "elementary paraunitary transformations" and constitutes a generalization of the classical Jacobi algorithm for conventional Hermitian matrix diagonalization. A proof of convergence is presented. The application to signal processing is highlighted in terms of strong decorrelation and multichannel data compaction. Some simulated results are presented to demonstrate the capability of the algorithm [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
