A Novel Family of Adaptive Filtering Algorithms Based on The Logarithmic Cost
We introduce a novel family of adaptive filtering algorithms based on a
relative logarithmic cost. The new family intrinsically combines the higher and
lower order measures of the error into a single continuous update based on the
error amount. We introduce important members of this family of algorithms such
as the least mean logarithmic square (LMLS) and least logarithmic absolute
difference (LLAD) algorithms that improve the convergence performance of the
conventional algorithms. However, our approach and analysis are generic such
that they cover other well-known cost functions as described in the paper. The
LMLS algorithm achieves comparable convergence performance with the least mean
fourth (LMF) algorithm and extends the stability bound on the step size. The
LLAD and least mean square (LMS) algorithms demonstrate similar convergence
performance in impulse-free noise environments while the LLAD algorithm is
robust against impulsive interferences and outperforms the sign algorithm (SA).
We analyze the transient, steady state and tracking performance of the
introduced algorithms and demonstrate the match of the theoretical analyzes and
simulation results. We show the extended stability bound of the LMLS algorithm
and analyze the robustness of the LLAD algorithm against impulsive
interferences. Finally, we demonstrate the performance of our algorithms in
different scenarios through numerical examples.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Signal Processin
Equalization of Third-Order Intermodulation Products in Wideband Direct Conversion Receivers
This paper reports a SAW-less direct-conversion receiver which utilizes a mixed-signal feedforward path to regenerate and adaptively cancel IM3 products, thus accomplishing system-level linearization. The receiver system performance is dominated by a custom integrated RF front end implemented in 130-nm CMOS and achieves an uncorrected out-of-band IIP3 of -7.1 dBm under the worst-case UMTS FDD Region 1 blocking specifications. Under IM3 equalization, the receiver achieves an effective IIP3 of +5.3 dBm and meets the UMTS BER sensitivity requirement with 3.7 dB of margin
