Abstract: This paper investigates MIMO (Multiple-Input
Multiple-Output) adaptive filtering techniques for the application
of supervised source separation in the context of convolutive
mixtures. From the observation that there is correlation among the
signals of the different mixtures, an improvement in the NSAF
(Normalized Subband Adaptive Filter) algorithm is proposed in
order to accelerate its convergence rate. Simulation results with
mixtures of speech signals in reverberant environments show the
superior performance of the proposed algorithm with respect to the
performances of the NLMS (Normalized Least-Mean-Square) and
conventional NSAF, considering both the convergence speed and
SIR (Signal-to-Interference Ratio) after convergence.
Abstract: This paper presents a subband adaptive filter (SAF)
for a system identification where an impulse response is sparse
and disturbed with an impulsive noise. Benefiting from the uses
of l1-norm optimization and l0-norm penalty of the weight vector
in the cost function, the proposed l0-norm sign SAF (l0-SSAF)
achieves both robustness against impulsive noise and much improved
convergence behavior than the classical adaptive filters. Simulation
results in the system identification scenario confirm that the proposed
l0-norm SSAF is not only more robust but also faster and more
accurate than its counterparts in the sparse system identification in
the presence of impulsive noise.
Abstract: This paper presents a normalized subband adaptive
filtering (NSAF) algorithm to cope with the sparsity condition of
an underlying system in the context of compressive sensing. By
regularizing a weighted l1-norm of the filter taps estimate onto the
cost function of the NSAF and utilizing a subgradient analysis,
the update recursion of the l1-norm constraint NSAF is derived.
Considering two distinct weighted l1-norm regularization cases, two
versions of the l1-norm constraint NSAF are presented. Simulation
results clearly indicate the superior performance of the proposed
l1-norm constraint NSAFs comparing with the classical NSAF.
Abstract: We present a new subband adaptive filter (R-SAF)
which is robust against impulsive noise in system identification. To
address the vulnerability of adaptive filters based on the L2-norm
optimization criterion against impulsive noise, the R-SAF comes from
the L1-norm optimization criterion with a constraint on the energy
of the weight update. Minimizing L1-norm of the a posteriori error
in each subband with a constraint on minimum disturbance gives
rise to the robustness against the impulsive noise and the capable
convergence performance. Experimental results clearly demonstrate
that the proposed R-SAF outperforms the classical adaptive filtering
algorithms when impulsive noise as well as background noise exist.
Abstract: We present a subband adaptive infinite-impulse response (IIR) filtering method, which is based on a polyphase decomposition of IIR filter. Motivated by the fact that the polyphase structure has benefits in terms of convergence rate and stability, we introduce the polyphase decomposition to subband IIR filtering, i.e., in each subband high order IIR filter is decomposed into polyphase IIR filters with lower order. Computer simulations demonstrate that the proposed method has improved convergence rate over conventional IIR filters.
Abstract: Employing a recently introduced unified adaptive filter
theory, we show how the performance of a large number of important
adaptive filter algorithms can be predicted within a general framework
in nonstationary environment. This approach is based on energy conservation
arguments and does not need to assume a Gaussian or white
distribution for the regressors. This general performance analysis can
be used to evaluate the mean square performance of the Least Mean
Square (LMS) algorithm, its normalized version (NLMS), the family
of Affine Projection Algorithms (APA), the Recursive Least Squares
(RLS), the Data-Reusing LMS (DR-LMS), its normalized version
(NDR-LMS), the Block Least Mean Squares (BLMS), the Block
Normalized LMS (BNLMS), the Transform Domain Adaptive Filters
(TDAF) and the Subband Adaptive Filters (SAF) in nonstationary
environment. Also, we establish the general expressions for the
steady-state excess mean square in this environment for all these
adaptive algorithms. Finally, we demonstrate through simulations that
these results are useful in predicting the adaptive filter performance.
