Transform-Domain Adaptive Constrained Filtering Algorithms for Time Delay EstimationHou, Jui-Hsiang 27 June 2002 (has links)
The convergence speed using the conventional approaches, viz., time-domain adaptive constrained and unconstrained LMS algorithms, becomes slowly, when dealing with the correlated source signals. In consequence, the performance of time delay estimation (TDE) will be degraded, dramatically. To improve this problem, the so-called transform-domain adaptive constrained filtering scheme, i.e., the adaptive constrained discrete-cosine-transform (DCT) LMS algorithm, has been proposed in [15]. However, the use of any one orthogonal transform will not result in a completely diagonal the input signal auto-correlation matrix for all types of input signals. In fact, the significant non-diagonal entries in the transform-domain auto-correlation matrix, will deteriorate the convergence performance of the algorithm.
To further overcome the problem described above, in this thesis, a modified approach, referred as the adaptive constrained modified DCT-LMS (CMDCT-LMS) algorithm, is devised for TDE under a wide class of input processes. In addition, based on the orthogonal discrete wavelet transform (DWT), an adaptive constrained modified DMT-LMS (CMDWT-LMS) algorithm is also devised and applied to the problem of TDE. We show that the proposed two modified constrained approaches for TDE does perform well than the unmodified approaches under different source signal models. Moreover, the adaptive CMDCT-LMS filtering algorithm does perform slightly better than the adaptive CMDWT-LMS filtering algorithm as observed from the simulation results.

Maximum Weight Approach for Code Synchronization in DS/SS Systems Using Adaptive Constrained Filtering Technique with Direct-Delay-Estimation FormulaChen, Guo-Hua 04 July 2003 (has links)
The technique of direct sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) has been widely used in commercial mobile communication systems. The efficiency of DS/SS system is highly dependent on the accurate and fast synchronization between the incoming and locally generated PN (pseudo-noise) codes. The code synchronization is processed in two steps, acquisition (coarse alignment) and tracking (fine alignment), to bring the delay offset between the two codes. Conventionally, for code synchronization, most of techniques were proposed based on the correlation property of PN codes. Recently, the different approach, by using the adaptive LMS filtering scheme, has been proposed to reduce the hardware complexity and to improve the performance of code synchronization, especially for a long PN code.
In this thesis, a new coherent adaptive code synchronization scheme is proposed, where the adaptive constrained LMS (CLMS) algorithm with the maximum tap-weight (MTW) test method is devised for code acquisition. The statistics of weight vector of the proposed CLMS scheme are derived to evaluate the performance, in terms of mean acquisition time (MAT). Analytical and simulation results verify that the proposed scheme for code acquisition outperforms the one using the conventional LMS filtering schemes, under the integer and non-integer time delay cases. Moreover, the setting of threshold value is derived for code acquisition, which is independent of the values of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and time delay.
Next, the CLMS scheme is proposed associated with the direct delay estimation (DDE) formula for code tracking. This approach does achieve a good delay-tracking performance, which is verified via computer simulation. Simultaneously, the hardware complexity can further be reduced due to that a code-tracking loop implemented by the interpolation method is not required.

Design of an Analog Adaptive Piezoelectric SensoriactuatorFannin, Christopher A. 09 September 1997 (has links)
In order for a piezoelectric transducer to be used as a sensor and actuator simultaneously, a direct charge due to the applied voltage must be removed from the total response in order to allow observation of the mechanical response alone. Earlier researchers proposed electronic compensators to remove this term by creating a reference signal which destructively interferes with the direct piezoelectric charge output, leaving only the charge related to the mechanical response signal. This research presents alternative analog LMS adaptive filtering methods which accomplish the same result. The main advantage of the proposed analog compensation scheme is its ability to more closely match the order of the adaptive filter to the assumed dynamics of the piezostructure using an adaptive first-order high-pass filter. Theoretical and experimental results are provided along with a discussion of the difficulties encountered in trying to achieve perfect compensation of the feedthrough capacitive charge on a piezoelectric wafer. / Master of Science

The Performance of the Differentially Coherent DS/SS Code Synchronization with Different Adaptive LMS Filtering SchemesChang, Yu-Chen 02 August 2005 (has links)
The efficiency of direct sequence spread spectrum (DS/SS) receiver is highly dependent on the accurate and fast synchronization between the incoming and locally generated PN (pseudo-noise) codes. The code synchronization is processed in two steps, acquisition (coarse alignment) and tracking (fine alignment), to estimate the delay offset between the two codes. In general, the schemes for code acquisition and tracking processes are performed, separately, and implemented with different structure. Recently, an alternative approach, with the adaptive LMS filtering scheme, has been proposed for performing both code acquisition and tracking with the identical structure, where the coherent receiver was employed. With this approach, dramatically, hardware complexity reduction could be achieved, especially, when long PN code is considered.
In this thesis, a new differentially coherent code synchronization scheme, based on a differential detector followed by an adaptive constrained LMS (CLMS) filtering algorithm with maximum tap weight (MTW) test scheme, is devised for performing both code acquisition and tracking with the identical structure. With a differential detector for code synchronization, the prior knowledge of the carrier phase is not required as the non-coherent techniques. Numerical analyses and simulation results verify that the proposed scheme has better acquisition performance, in terms of mean acquisition time, than the conventional LMS filtering algorithm with MTW test and mean square error (MSE) test schemes for the integer and non-integer time delay environments. At the same time, the proposed scheme has better tracking capability, in terms of mean hold-in time and mean penalty time, over the conventional LMS filtering schemes, for the variation of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and delay offset (delay difference).

Adaptive Constrained DCT-LMS Time Delay Estimation AlgorithmJian, Jiun-Je 27 June 2000 (has links)
n the problem of time delay estimation (TDE), the desired source signals of interest are
correlated and with a specific spectral distribution. In such cases, the convergence speed using
the conventional approaches, viz., time domain adaptive constrained and unconstrained LMS
TDE algorithms, becomes slowly and the performance of TDE will be degraded, dramatically.
In fact, the convergence rate depends highly on the distribution of spectral density of the
desired signal sources. Also, the performance of TDE is affected by the background noises,
accordingly.
To circumvent the problem described above, in this thesis, a transformed domain adaptive
constrained filtering scheme, refers to the constrained adaptive DCT-LMS algorithm, for TDE
is devised. We show that this new proposed constrained algorithm, with the so-called direct
delay estimation formula, for non-integer TDE does perform better than the conventional time
domain adaptive constrained and unconstrained LMS TDE algorithms and the unconstrained
adaptive DCT-LMS TDE algorithm.
Finally, to further reduce the spread of eigenvalue in the unconstrained adaptive
DCT-LMS algorithm, the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalizer approach realizing by the adaptive
Escalator is investigated. It indicates that bias of TDE will occur without using the constraint
of weight vector. That is, it could not be used to alleviate the effect due to background noises.

Non-Wiener Effects in Narrowband Interference Mitigation Using Adaptive Transversal EqualizersIkuma, Takeshi 25 April 2007 (has links)
The least mean square (LMS) algorithm is widely expected to operate near the corresponding Wiener filter solution. An exception to this popular perception occurs when the algorithm is used to adapt a transversal equalizer in the presence of additive narrowband interference. The steady-state LMS equalizer behavior does not correspond to that of the fixed Wiener equalizer: the mean of its weights is different from the Wiener weights, and its mean squared error (MSE) performance may be significantly better than the Wiener performance. The contributions of this study serve to better understand this so-called non-Wiener phenomenon of the LMS and normalized LMS adaptive transversal equalizers.
The first contribution is the analysis of the mean of the LMS weights in steady state, assuming a large interference-to-signal ratio (ISR). The analysis is based on the Butterweck expansion of the weight update equation. The equalization problem is transformed to an equivalent interference estimation problem to make the analysis of the Butterweck expansion tractable. The analytical results are valid for all step-sizes. Simulation results are included to support the analytical results and show that the analytical results predict the simulation results very well, over a wide range of ISR.
The second contribution is the new MSE estimator based on the expression for the mean of the LMS equalizer weight vector. The new estimator shows vast improvement over the Reuter-Zeidler MSE estimator. For the development of the new MSE estimator, the transfer function approximation of the LMS algorithm is generalized for the steady-state analysis of the LMS algorithm. This generalization also revealed the cause of the breakdown of the MSE estimators when the interference is not strong, as the assumption that the variation of the weight vector around its mean is small relative to the mean of the weight vector itself.
Both the expression for the mean of the weight vector and for the MSE estimator are analyzed for the LMS algorithm at first. The results are then extended to the normalized LMS algorithm by the simple means of adaptation step-size redefinition. / Ph. D.
