CLEAN

An implementation and demonstration of the CLEAN algorithm for estimating times of arrival in multi component signals.

This is an implementation of the CLEAN algorithm which identifies individual waveforms in a multi-component signal by simple spectral summations.

The details of the algorithm can be found in (and are not recalled here):

Two functions are provided. extract_CLEAN performs the iterative search and identifies individual components (wave packets) present in the measured signal. plot_components can be used to visualise the outcome of extract_CLEAN.
