In order to extract information about inflationary gravitational waves using B-mode patterns of cosmic microwave polarization anisotropy, we need to remove the foreground radiation from the Milky Way. In our previous delta-map method for foreground removal, the number of observation bands was limited to the number of parameters of the assumed foreground model, and therefore it was difficult to improve the sensitivity by increasing the number of observation bands. Here, we extend the previous method so that it can be adapted to an arbitrary number of observation bands. Using parametric likelihood and realistic foreground and CMB simulations, we show that our method can increase the sensitivity to the tensor-to-scalar ratio r without inducing any significant bias.
