A Generalization of the Normalized LMS Algorithm

As previously shown, the normalized least mean square (NLMS)algorithm has superior convergence properties than the least meansquare(LMS) algorithm. However, the weight noise effect of the NLMS algorithm is large so that the steady state residue power islarger than that for the LMS algorithm. A generalized NLMSalgorithm is developed based upon the pseudoinverse of anestimated covariance matrix. A preliminary evaluation indicatesimproved performance can be attained but the implementationcomplexity might be high.     

基于比例归一化LMS算法次级通道模型辨识

将主动噪声控制技术应用于地铁通风隧道的噪声控制上,其应用效果在很大程度上取决于信号处理的实时性。在保证控制算法收敛的基础上,要求算法收敛速度尽可能快,以确保对声波变化的准确跟踪,据此产生匹配的振幅相等、相位相反的次级声信号,进而对噪声进行控制。利用比例思想对LMS算法进行改进,为小系数配上小的步长因子,为大系数配上较大的步长因子。最后,将其应用在地铁通风隧道的次级声通道模型的辨识上,并与常用的LMS算法在收敛速度、稳态失调性能上做出比较。数值分析结果表明,采用改进后的LMS算法能够有效地加快算法收敛,改善算法的稳态失调性能。     

Results from a Four-Element Adaptive Antenna Experiment

Experimental results from a four-element, linear, half-wavelength spacing, adaptive-array antenna under the control of the least mean square (LMS) algorithm are presented. The array is found to be capable of nulling a 70-MHz signal to -35 dB below a desired signal over a 5-MHz bandwidth. The antenna processing gain is constant over a desired signal-to-jammer signal power ratio range from -20 dB to 5 dB. A sharp reduction in processing gain is observed for angular separations between jammer and desired signal of less than 10°. Antenna patterns taken with weights set in 300 iterations of the LMS algorithm show that the one strong, one weak jammer combination has a longer weight convergence time and reduced processing gain compared with a two strong jammers combination. Contours of constant desired signal-to-jammer signal power ratio, after adaptive antenna processing, reveal a complex shape for communication between air and ground due to the finite angular resolution of the adaptive antenna.     

A fast adaptive null-steering algorithm based on output powermeasurements

Presented and investigated here is a simple and fast adaptive algorithm for linear power inversion arrays whose nulls can be accurately steered by controlling the element weights. Based on measurements of the powers of the three signals derived from the array output and the output of an auxiliary beamformer, the algorithm tracks unknown jammers in the environment by steering the nulls of the array one by one in a cyclical time-multiplexed manner. When compared with the least mean square (LMS) algorithm, the proposed algorithm has about the same implementation complexity, a better convergence behavior and the advantage that nulls are directly available

Robust algorithm for combating look direction error problems

A simple and fast zero tracking algorithm for adaptive arrays with large look direction errors is presented and investigated. Basically, the algorithm is based on adjusting the complex zeroes of a power inversion array in a time-multiplexed manner to track all the sources in the environment. To preserve the desired signal which is supposed to be closest to the look direction of 0°, the algorithm removes the zero with the shortest distance to e^j0 so that the directional response consists of only nulls steered at the jammers. When compared with the least mean square (LMS) algorithm employing zeroth and first-order look direction constraints, the new algorithm has about the same implementation complexity, is considerably faster, and possesses a much better signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) performance when the look direction is erroneous     

Normalized LMS Algorithm Degradation Due to Estimation Noise

The steady-state weight vector derived by either the least mean square (LMS) or normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithms has random deviations from the optimum values. These deviations increase the steady-state residue power. A previous paper derived the LMS weight noise effects for a multiple sidelobe canceller (MSLC) application. This paper describes the NLMS weight noise effects. It is shown that for a thermal noise environment, the weight noise effect for the LMS algorithm is insignificant but is quite significant for the NLMS algorithm. Calculations for example noise plus interference environments imply that the NLMS weight noise effects are always larger than that for LMS.     

A Fast Beamforming Algorithm for Large Arrays

This beamforming algorithm is written specifically for array radars in which the number of array elements K is very large compared with the number of jammers L the radar is designed to suppress. It uses a set of M noise vectors to construct a basis for the jammer component of the antenna output vectors. The component of the quiescent weight vector orthogonal to each basis vector is calculated, renormalized to unit length, and identified as the adapted weight vector. This algorithm is effective in the suppression of many types of jammers. The number of noise samples M required in the construction of the adapted weight vector is approximately equal to L. In the special case of L narrowband noise jammers, for example, a choice of M = L usually reduces the receiver output jammer power to a few dBs above the white noise background. It is permissible to have M相似文献

Adaptive Arrays for Multiple Simultaneous Desired Signals

Steered beam adaptive arrays for multiple simultaneous desired signals are discussed. It is shown that the performance of a steered beam adaptive array depends upon the range of input signal strengths and the choice of the steering vector. Optimum steering vectors for various input signal strengths are given. All choices of steering vectors are equally effective in the rejection of jammers.     

Multiple-model estimation with variable structure. V. Likely-modelset algorithm

For pt. IV see ibid., vol. 35, no. 1, p. 242-254 (1999). A multiple-model (MM) estimator with a variable structure, called likely-model set (LMS) algorithm, is presented, which is generally applicable to most hybrid estimation problems and is easily implementable. It uses a set of models that are not unlikely to match the system mode in effect at any given time. Different versions of the algorithm are discussed. The model set is made adaptive in the simplest version by deleting all unlikely models and activating all models to which a principal model may jump so as to anticipate the possible system mode transitions. The generality, simplicity, and ease in the design and implementation of the LMS estimator are illustrated via an example of tracking a maneuvering target and an example of fault detection and identification. Comparison of its cost-effectiveness with other fixed- and variable-structure MM estimators is given

STAP for GPS receiver synchronization

A space-time adaptive processing (STAP) algorithm for delay tracking and acquisition of the GPS signature sequence with interference rejection capability is developed. The interference can consist of both broadband and narrowband jammers, and is mitigated in two steps. The narrowband jammers are modelled as vector autoregressive (VAR) processes and rejected by temporal whitening. The spatial ing is implicitly achieved by estimating a sample covariance matrix and feeding its inverse into the extended Kalman filter (EKF). The EKF estimates of the code delay and the fading channel are used for a t-test for acquisition detection. Computer simulations demonstrate robust performance of the algorithm in severe jamming, and also show that the algorithm outperforms the conventional delay-locked loop (DLL).     

A Multiple-Beam Architecture for Sidelobe Cancellers

Using a computer simulation, we investigate the use of a small bundle of beams centered on the boresight axis to provide adaptive sidelobe cancelling. Advantages of this approach include the fact that the number of jammers suppressed is not limited to the number of adaptive loops provided. Also, the technique adapts well to the suppression of jammers over a wide frequency band.
