Advancements and Applications of Adaptive Filters in Signal Processing.

This paper provides an in-depth exploration of adaptive filters, indispensable tools in signal processing for their ability to dynamically adjust parameters and optimize performance in varying environments. Delving into prominent methodologies such as the Least Mean Squares (LMS), Normalized Least Mean Squares (NLMS), Recursive Least Squares (RLS), Gradient Adaptive Lattice (GAL), and Fractional Tap-Length (FTL) algorithms, the study elucidates their unique characteristics, advantages, and considerations. LMS is known for its simplicity and computational efficiency, while NLMS improves convergence speed and robustness to input signal power variations. RLS offers rapid convergence and robustness through recursive estimation, distinct from the iterative approaches of LMS and NLMS. GAL employs a lattice structure for efficient parameter estimation and numerical stability, and FTL dynamically adjusts tap-lengths for enhanced performance. The paper underscores the significance of adaptive filters in diverse applications, from telecommunications and audio processing to biomedical signal analysis and control systems, highlighting their role in driving innovation and advancement in signal processing technology.
