An extension to the filtered-x LMS algorithm with logarithmic transformation

© 2015 IEEE. Active control of impulsive noise has been of increasing interest due to high impact of such noise on humans. The algorithm with logarithmic transformation, developed by Wu, et al. has been found particularly interesting. In this paper this idea is continued, and an extension to this algorithm is proposed to improve its convergence properties and allow for successful control if the noise has also another type of noise together with the impulses. A number of simulations are performed to validate the algorithm and compare it with algorithms leading in the literature. Additionally to simulated benchmark impulsive noises, real recordings are considered, which bring another insight into efficiency of the algorithms.
