The particle filter (PF) is a novel technique that has sufficiently good estimation results for the nonlinear/non-Gaussian systems. However, PF is inconsistent that caused mainly by loss of particle diversity in resampling step and unknown a priori knowledge of the noise statistics. This paper introduces a new modified particle filter called adaptive unscented particle filter (AUPF) to overcome th...

In passive sonar, adaptive algorithms can be used to cancel strong sinusoidal self-interferences. In order to correctly recover low-power target signals during the early stages of processing, these adaptive algorithms must provide fast convergence and, at the same time, narrow notches at the frequencies of the sinusoids. In this respect, the gradient adaptive lattice (GAL) algorithm is a very a...

In this paper, an adaptive jitter reduction technique is presented to substantially mitigate the tracking jitter of symbol timing recovery loops (STRLs) in all digital receivers and, hence, enhance the overall performance of the loop. This has been achieved by a structure utilizing a notch filter in a cascade arrangement with the loop filter to suppress the undesired frequency components and pr...

abstract according to the adventages of passive radars they have been reconsidered recently due to development of signal processing technology. in the field of sea targets detection using passive radar few research have been reported. this paper presents a new method to detect sea targets using adaptive filter weights variation model and using the fact that the radar cross section of sea target...

Chaotic motion can sometimes be desirable or undesirable, and hence control over such a phenomenon has become a topic of considerable interest. Currently available methods involve making systematic time-varying small perturbations in the system parameters. A new method is presented here to achieve control over chaotic motion using notch filter output feedback control. The notch filter controlle...

In this paper we propose the use of a lattice based second order infinite impulse response (IIR) notch filter with a simplified adaptation algorithm for removal of power line frequency from ECG signals. The performance of this filter is better as compared to a second order infinite impulse response (IIR) notch filter for a real time ECG recording systems where the frequency of line varies over ...

We demonstrate a highly tunable deep notch filter realized in a liquid-crystal photonic-bandgap (LCPBG) fiber. The filter is realized without inducing a long-period grating in the fiber but simply by filling a solid-core photonic-crystal fiber with a liquid crystal and exploiting avoided crossings within the bandgap of the LCPBG fiber. The filter is demonstrated experimentally and investigated ...

The residual echo signal characteristics of critically sampled subband acoustic echo cancellers are analyzed. For finite impulse response (FIR) filter banks, the residual echo signal usually has a relatively broad spectral nature around the subband edges. The residual echo signal of power symmetric infinite impulse response (PS-IIR) filter banks, on the other hand, has very narrowband spectral ...

This paper investigates an H-fractal wideband microstrip filter with multi-passbands and a tuned notch band for wireless communication frequencies. The four different filter configurations explored are: symmetric with zero offset, symmetric with nonzero offset, asymmetric with zero offset, and asymmetric with nonzero offset. The effect of H-fractal iterations, fractal scaling parameters, and st...
