The introduction of a simple correction term in gradient algorithms for adaptive IIR filtering is shown to improve their convergence and robustness. The error surface, i.e., the mean squared value of the output error as a function of adaptive coefficients, is quadratic in adaptive FIR filtering and thus a simple gradient search works well. This is not the case in adaptive IIR filtering where th...

The Kalman filter is an optimal estimator with numerous applications in technology, especially in systems with Gaussian distributed noise. Moreover, the adaptive Kalman filtering algorithms, based on the Kalman filter, can control the influence of dynamic model errors. In contrast to the adaptive Kalman filtering algorithms, the H-infinity filter is able to address the interference of the stoch...

Although several Kalman filtering algorithms have been presented for adaptive multiuser detection, none is “blind” due to requiring training data sequences and/or more knowledge than the spreading waveform and delay of the desired user. This paper proposes a novel blind adaptive multiuser detector based on Kalman filtering and compares it with previously published LMS and RLS algorithms for bli...

This paper describes a method for noise removal from ultrasonic signals used in NDE (Non Destructive Evaluation) applications. The method used is FPGA based adaptive noise cancellation. Indeed adaptive filtering is one of the core technologies in digital signal processing. We can find numerous application areas in science as well as in industry. Adaptive filtering techniques are used in a wide ...
