    This paper studies the behavior of the low rank LMS adaptive algorithm for the general case in which the input transformation may not capture the exact input subspace. It is shown that the Independence Theory and the independent additive noise model are not applicable to this case. A new theoretical model for the weight mean and fluctuation behaviors is developed which incorporates the correlation between successive data vectors (as opposed to the Independence Theory model). The new theory is applied to a network echo cancellation scheme which uses partial-Haar input vector transformations. Comparison of the new model predictions with Monte Carlo simulations shows good-to-excellent agreement, certainly much better than predicted by the Independence Theory based model available in the literature

    Modified LMS Adaptive Algorithm for the determination of Maximum SNR using Self-Adaptation Technique of Noise Factor for Communication System

    Get PDF
    The most often used adaptive filter (AF) is the least-mean-square (LMS) filter. This filter has many applications in the area of communication and signal processing. System identification represents a significant use case for adaptive filters. This paper represents a new structure/model of system identification and adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) using state-of-the-art LMS-AF. The paper expressed the algorithm of updated LMS-AF. The major parts of the proposed model are- two adaptive filters, one LMS filter, one correlation function, and one auto-correlation function. The research investigation for the proposed model is based on the self-adaptation or self-learning method to obtain the maximum signal to noise ratio (SNR) based on the real-time inputs. The proposed structure/model converges towards the ideal LMS-ANC system. This paper also includes mathematical analysis, simulation, results, and discussion. The most important comparison parameters are the SNR and mean-square-error (MSE)

    Algorithms and structures for long adaptive echo cancellers

    The main theme of this thesis is adaptive echo cancellation. Two novel independent approaches are proposed for the design of long echo cancellers with improved performance. In the first approach, we present a novel structure for bulk delay estimation in long echo cancellers which considerably reduces the amount of excess error. The miscalculation of the delay between the near-end and the far-end sections is one of the main causes of this excess error. Two analyses, based on the Least Mean Squares (LMS) algorithm, are presented where certain shapes for the transitions between the end of the near-end section and the beginning of the far-end one are considered. Transient and steady-state behaviours and convergence conditions for the proposed algorithm are studied. Comparisons between the algorithms developed for each transition are presented, and the simulation results agree well with the theoretical derivations. In the second approach, a generalised performance index is proposed for the design of the echo canceller. The proposed algorithm consists of simultaneously applying the LMS algorithm to the near-end section and the Least Mean Fourth (LMF) algorithm to the far-end section of the echo canceller. This combination results in a substantial improvement of the performance of the proposed scheme over both the LMS and other algorithms proposed for comparison. In this approach, the proposed algorithm will be henceforth called the Least Mean Mixed-Norm (LMMN) algorithm. The advantages of the LMMN algorithm over previously reported ones are two folds: it leads to a faster convergence and results in a smaller misadjustment error. Finally, the convergence properties of the LMMN algorithm are derived and the simulation results confirm the superior performance of this proposed algorithm over other well known algorithms

    Adaptive interference suppression for DS-CDMA systems based on interpolated FIR filters with adaptive interpolators in multipath channels

    In this work we propose an adaptive linear receiver structure based on interpolated finite impulse response (FIR) filters with adaptive interpolators for direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems in multipath channels. The interpolated minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) and the interpolated constrained minimum variance (CMV) solutions are described for a novel scheme where the interpolator is rendered time-varying in order to mitigate multiple access interference (MAI) and multiple-path propagation effects. Based upon the interpolated MMSE and CMV solutions we present computationally efficient stochastic gradient (SG) and exponentially weighted recursive least squares type (RLS) algorithms for both receiver and interpolator filters in the supervised and blind modes of operation. A convergence analysis of the algorithms and a discussion of the convergence properties of the method are carried out for both modes of operation. Simulation experiments for a downlink scenario show that the proposed structures achieve a superior BER convergence and steady-state performance to previously reported reduced-rank receivers at lower complexity

    Developing an Enhanced Adaptive Antenna Beamforming Algorithm for Telecommunication Applications

    As a key enabler for advanced wireless communication technologies, smart antennas have become an intense field of study. Smart antennas use adaptive beamforming algorithms which allow the antenna system to search for specific signals even in a background of noise and interference. Beamforming is a signal processing technique used to shape the antenna array pattern according to prescribed criteria. In this thesis, a comparative study is presented for various adaptive antenna beamforming algorithms. Least mean square (LMS), normalized least mean square (NLMS), recursive least square (RLS), and sample matrix inversion (SMI) algorithms are studied and analyzed. The study also considers some possible adaptive filter combinations and variations, such as: LMS with SMI weights initialization, and combined NLMS filters with a variable mixing parameter. Furthermore, a new adaptive variable step-size normalized least mean square (VSS-NLMS) algorithm is proposed. Sparse adaptive algorithms, are also studied and analyzed, and two-channel estimations sparse algorithms are applied to an adaptive beamformer, namely: proportionate normalized least-mean-square (PNLMS), and lp norm PNLMS (LP-PNLMS) algorithms. Moreover, a variable step size has been applied to both of these algorithms for improved performance. These algorithms are simulated for antenna arrays with different geometries and sizes, and results are discussed in terms of their convergence speed, max side lobe level (SLL), null depths, steady-state error, and sensitivity to noise. Simulation results confirm the superiority of the proposed VSS-NLMS algorithms over the standard NLMS without the need of using combined filters. Results also show an improved performance for the sparse algorithms after applying the proposed variable step size

    In this paper, we present an overview of the principal, structure and the application of the echo cancellation and kind of application to improve the performance of the systems. Echo is a process in which a delayed and distorted version o the original sound or voice signal is reflected back to the source. For the acoustic echo canceller much and more study are required to make the good tracking speed fast and reduce the computational complexity. Due to the increasing the processing requirement, widespread implementation had to wait for advances in LSI, VLSI echo canceller appeared. DOI: 10.17762/ijritcc2321-8169.150513
