Abstract: This article proposes an unbiased plain gradient algorithm for a second-order adaptive IIR notch filter with constrained poles and zeros. The proposed algorithm employs removing a dominant parameter that produces inherent bias. By using this technique, the performances are improved with slight expense in computational complexity. In this paper, theoretical analysis for deriving the estimations of bias and mean square error (MSE) at steady state are presented in closed form. Moreover, the stability bound of the algorithm is also derived. To confirm the analytical results, the computer simulations are provided to corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Furthermore, the performances of the algorithm are also compared with the plain gradient (PG) and modified plain gradient (MPG) algorithms. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: Modified indirect and direct plain gradient (MIPG and MDPG) algorithms using new error criteria for second-order adaptive IIR (infinite-impulse response) notch filters (ANFs) with constrained poles and zeros are proposed in this paper. The proposed techniques are based on modifying error functions of the standard indirect and direct ANFs. In this work, the proposed error criteria are modified as the mean value of the product of the two signals which are, respectively, produced by the FIR (finite-impulse response) and IIR sections of the ANFs. Due to a non-zero slope straight line-like characteristic of the new cost functions, the gradient based adaptive algorithm rapidly converges to an optimum solution resulting in faster convergence speed than that of the conventional method. The closed form expressions for steady-state estimation bias and mean square error (MSE) of the proposed algorithms are also carried out. In addition, extensive simulations of the proposed algorithms compared to other methods are provided to support the theoretical analyses. Although, there are some limitations in the proposed algorithms, however, the demonstrated results obtained from tested algorithms at the same condition confirm that the proposed MIPG and MDPG algorithms are superior to others in convergent speed.

Abstract: This work deals with the problem of the frequency estimation of a sinusoidal signal corrupted by broad-band noise. The direct frequency estimation based adaptive algorithm for a second-order adaptive finite impulse response (FIR) notch filter (AFNF) is thus proposed. The proposed algorithm employs the bias removal technique to remove the bias existing in the estimated parameter. The performances including the rate of convergence and the mean square error (MSE) can be easily controlled by using only one parameter, i.e., step size parameter. Moreover, the proposed filter is simple to implement and suitable for real-time applications. In addition, the difference equations for the convergence in the mean and mean square, and the closed form expressions for the steady-state estimation bias and MSE are also carried out. Finally, the simulation results are provided to confirm the theoretical analysis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
