A method and a system for decomposition of a multiple channel signal
reflecting characteristics of a blood perfused fleshy medium is provided.
This technique can be utilized for determination of at least one desired
blood parameter. According to the method a portion of the medium is
illuminated by amplitude-modulated light of more than two different optic
channels having wavelength in a range where the scattering properties of
blood are sensitive to light radiation. Further, a light response of the
medium sensed, and the multiple channel signal is generated. Thereafter,
the multiple channel signal is analyzed that includes: filtering the
multiple channel signal and separating at least a part of multiple
channels from each other, and providing time evolutions of the light
responses of the medium for the part of said multiple channels. According
to the invention, the amplitude-modulated light is activated in a
composite mode regime employing a combination of parallel and serial
modes. The filtering of said multiple channel signal and the separating
of said multiple channels from each other both includes applying an
adaptive resonator bank to the multiple channel signal.
