This research presents an investigation into the development of real time system identification using intelligent algorithms. A simulation platform of a flexible beam vibration using finite difference (FD) method is used to demonstrate the real time capabilities of the identification algorithms. A number of approaches and algorithms for on line system identifications are explored and evaluated to demonstrate the merits of the algorithms for real time implementation. These approaches include identification using (a) traditional recursive least square (RLS) filter, (b) Genetic Algorithms (GAs) and (c) adaptive Neuro_Fuzzy (ANFIS) model. The above algorithms are used to estimate a linear discrete second order model for the flexible beam vibration. The model is implemented, tested and validated to evaluate and demonstrate the merits of the algorithms for real time system identification. Finally, a comparative performance of error convergence and real time computational complexity of the algorithms is presented and discussed through a set of experiments.

Direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) technique is one of the significant multiplexing technologies used in wireless communication services. In the DS-CDMA framework, all users have been assigned distinct signature code sequence to achieve multiple accesses within the same frequency band, and allow signal separating at the receiver. Under multipath fading environment with near-far effect, the current CDMA systems employed the RAKE receiver, to enhance the system performance. It is known that if training data is available the minimum mean squares error (MMSE) multiuser receiver, in which the average power of the receiver output is minimized subject to appropriate constraints, could be obtained by solving directly by the constrained Wiener estimation solution. However, if this is not the case, the blind multiuser receiver is an alternative approach to achieve desired performance closed to the one with the MMSE approach. In this thesis, based on the max/min criterion, the blind multiuser receiver, with linear constraints, is devised. Here constraint equations are written in parametric forms, which depend on the multipath structure of the signal of interest. Constraint parameters are jointly optimized with the parameters of the linear receiver to obtain the optimal parameters. In consequence, the sliding window linearly constrained RLS (SW-LC-RLS) algorithm is employed to implement the optimal blind receiver, with max/min approach. This new proposed scheme can be used to deal with multiple access interference (MAI) suppression for the environments, in which the narrow band interference (NBI) due to other systems is joined suddenly to the DS-CDMA systems, and having serious near-far effect. Under such circumstance, the channel character due to the NBI and near-far effect will become violent time varying, such that the conventional LC-RLS algorithm as well as LC-LMS algorithms could not perform well. Via computer simulation it confirms that our proposed scheme has better capability for MAI suppression in DS-CDMA systems than other existing schemes, and is more robust against the NBI and near-far problems.
