A New Sign Subband Adaptive Filter with Improved Convergence Rate

In this paper, we propose a new sign subband adaptive filter to improve the convergence rate of the conventional sign subband adaptive filter which has been proposed to deal with colored input signal under the environment with impulsive noise. The existing sign subband adaptive filter does not increase the convergence speed by increasing the number of subband because each subband input signal is normalized by of all of the subband input signals. We devised a new sign subband adaptive filter that normalizes each subband input signal with of each subband input signal and increases the convergence rate by increasing the number of subband. We carried out a performance comparison of the proposed algorithm with the existing sign subband adaptive filter using a system identification model. It is shown that the proposed algorithm has faster convergence rate than the existing sign subband adaptive filter.
