Abstract :
For some special case, Huynen´s decomposition cannot be used to extract a desired target from an average Kennaugh matrix. In this paper, the authors modify Huynen´s method for overcoming its disadvantage, based on a simple transform of a Kennaugh matrix. Using an example, the effectiveness of the modified method is validated
