Robust adaptive filtering algorithms for system identification and array signal processing in non-Gaussian environment
This dissertation proposes four new algorithms based on fractionally lower order statistics for adaptive filtering in a non-Gaussian interference environment. One is the affine projection sign algorithm (APSA) based on Lā norm minimization, which combines the ability of decorrelating colored input and suppressing divergence when an outlier occurs. The second one is the variable-step-size normalized sign algorithm (VSS-NSA), which adjusts its step size automatically by matching the Lā norm of the a posteriori error to that of noise. The third one adopts the same variable-step-size scheme but extends Lā minimization to Lp minimization and the variable step-size normalized fractionally lower-order moment (VSS-NFLOM) algorithms are generalized. Instead of variable step size, the variable order is another trial to facilitate adaptive algorithms where no a priori statistics are available, which leads to the variable-order least mean pth norm (VO-LMP) algorithm, as the fourth one. These algorithms are applied to system identification for impulsive interference suppression, echo cancelation, and noise reduction. They are also applied to a phased array radar system with space-time adaptive processing (beamforming) to combat heavy-tailed non-Gaussian clutters. The proposed algorithms are tested by extensive computer simulations. The results demonstrate significant performance improvements in terms of convergence rate, steady-state error, computational simplicity, and robustness against impulsive noise and interference --Abstract, page iv
