Abstract:
Methods and corresponding systems in an adaptive filter include calculating a signal estimator output using filter coefficients, and calculating an error signal. Next, a coefficient threshold is determined. Thereafter, for each filter coefficient, a first step size is assigned to filter coefficients with a magnitude less than the coefficient threshold, and a second step size is assigned to filter coefficients with a magnitude greater than or equal to the coefficient threshold. Finally, the filter coefficients are updated using the first and second step sizes and the error signal. The coefficient threshold can be selected as the average of the magnitudes of the filter coefficients. Alternatively, the coefficient threshold can be selected as the Mth largest of the filter coefficients ranked in order of magnitude. In one embodiment, the first step size can be less than one and the second step size can be greater than one.
