In this paper several variable step size adaptive filter structures for extracting high resolution electrocardiographic (ECG) signals are presented which estimates the deterministic components of the ECG signal and removes the artifacts. The noise canceller minimizes the mean square error (MSE) between the input noisy ECG signal and noise reference. Different noise canceller structures are proposed to remove diverse forms of artifacts: power line interference, baseline wander, muscle artifacts and electrode motion artifacts. The proposed implementation is suitable real time applications, where large signal to noise ratios with fast convergence are required. Simulation studies shows that the proposed realization gives better performance compared to existing realizations in terms of signal to noise ratio, convergence rate and MSE.

The adaptive algorithm satisfies the present needs on technology for diagnosis biosignals as lung sound signals (LSSs) and accurate techniques for the separation of heart sound signals (HSSs) and other background noise from LSS. This study investigates an improved adaptive noise cancellation (ANC) based on normalized last-mean-square (NLMS) algorithm. The parameters of ANC-NLMS algorithm are the filter length Lj parameter, which is determined in 2n sequence of 2, 4, 8, 16, … , 2048, and the step size (μn), which is automatically randomly identified using variable μn (VSS) optimization. Initially, the algorithm is subjected experimentally to identify the optimal μn range that works with 11 Lj values as a specific case. This case is used to study the improved performance of the proposed method based on the signal-to-noise ratio and mean square error. Moreover, the performance is evaluated four times for four μn values, each of which with all Lj to obtain the output SNRout matrix (4 × 11). The improvement level is estimated and compared with the SNRin prior to the application of the proposed algorithm and after SNRouts. The proposed method achieves high-performance ANC-NLMS algorithm by optimizing VSS when it is close to zero at determining Lj, at which the algorithm shows the capability to separate HSS from LSS. Furthermore, the SNRout of normal LSS starts to improve at Lj of 64 and Lj limit of 1024. The SNRout of abnormal LSS starts from a Lj value of 512 to more than 2048 for all determined μn. Results revealed that the SNRout of the abnormal LSS is small (negative value), whereas that in the normal LSS is large (reaches a positive value). Finally, the designed ANC-NLMS algorithm can separate HSS from LSS. This algorithm can also achieve a good performance by optimizing VSS at the determined 11 Lj values. Additionally, the steps of the proposed method and the obtained SNRout may be used to classify LSS by using a computer.

Adaptive Noise Canceller

Attenuation of coherent noise, typically weather generated noise and more specifically swell noise, is a major concern in seismic. Such noise, usually characterized by its low-frequency content and high amplitudes, is a common problem in seismic acquisition and, in particular, for marine data. We propose a multiple-input adaptive noise canceller as a solution to attenuate nonstationary coherent noise. This filter uses multiple noise sequences to estimate the noise contained in each trace. This noise estimate is then subtracted to obtain an estimate of the trace whose coherent noise has been attenuated. For the implementation of the adaptive filter, we use a variable step-size normalized least mean squares algorithm, as it is known for its simplicity and robustness. In addition, we demonstrate that variable step-size is necessary for this filter to adapt to the changing statistics of the seismic data. This method is tested on real marine seismic data and compared to a time-frequency median filter and a second-order high-pass Butterworth filter. We demonstrate that the multiple-input adaptive noise canceller is a powerful and efficient filter to attenuate swell noise while preserving the seismic reflections. Depending on the noise configuration, it can be used either by itself or in combination with a time-frequency median filter to obtain the best results.

The traditional blind source separation (BSS) algorithm is mainly used to deal with signal separation under the noiseless model, but it does not apply to data with the low signal to noise ratio (SNR). To solve the problem, an adaptive variable step size natural gradient BSS algorithm based on an improved wavelet threshold is proposed in this paper. Firstly, an improved wavelet threshold method is used to reduce the noise of the signal. Secondly, the wavelet coefficient layer with obvious periodicity is denoised using a morphological component analysis (MCA) algorithm, and the processed wavelet coefficients are recombined to obtain the ideal model. Thirdly, the recombined signal is pre-whitened, and a new separation matrix update formula of natural gradient algorithm is constructed by defining a new separation degree estimation function. Finally, the adaptive variable step size natural gradient blind source algorithm is used to separate the noise reduction signal. The results show that the algorithm can not only adaptively adjust the step size according to different signals, but also improve the convergence speed, stability and separation accuracy.

This paper gives three problems on ALE and analyses these.Then by the characteristics of vector hydrophone and a improved variable step size LMS,this paper constructs a cascade double input with variable step size based on vector hydrophone line spectrum enhancer . This algorithm restrains the noise of main channel twice ,meanwhile controls the noise in reference channel , so as to improve signal to noise ratio better. At the same time ,because of adopting the improved variable step size LMS, the steady-state error is reduced. From the results of simulation and experiment, the method presented in this paper can have a better effect of line spectrum enhancement.

Neural network is acted as noise canceller to implement noise cancel under the condition of interference noise has nonlinear correlation to reference noise. If interference noise has nonlinear correlation to reference noise, the transversal filter has weak effect to cancel the noise in the signal. Neural network has nonlinear characteristic transfer and can solve this problem, and a new variable step size algorithm is proposed to further improve the performance. Computer simulation results show that neural network noise canceller has better signal to noise gain for nonlinear noise.

This paper deals with the study of multi-channel adaptive noise cancellation with a focus on its application in electromagnetic (EM) telemetry. We presented new variable step-size least mean square (LMS) techniques: regularized variable step-size LMS and regularized sigmoid variable size LMS, for electromagnetic telemetry data processing. Considering the complexity and spatial distribution of environmental noise, algorithms with multiple reference signals were used to retrieve transmitted EM signals. The feasibility of the regularized variable step size LMS algorithms with numerical simulation was analyzed and presented. The adaptive processing techniques were applied in the recovery of frequency and binary phase shift key modulated signal. The proposed multi-channel adaptive technique achieves fast convergence speed, low mean squared error and is shown to have good convergence characteristics compared to conventional methods. In addition to attaining good results from the multi-channel adaptive filter and performing the signal analysis in real-time, we implemented combined fast effective impulse noise removal techniques. The combination of median and mean filters was effective in removing a wide range of impulsive noises without distorting any other data points. Further, electromagnetic telemetry data were acquired during a drilling operation in Sichuan province, China, for real field application. Data processing workflow was designed for EM telemetry data processing based on the noise characteristics, simulation results and expected result for demodulation. To establish a comprehensive overview, a performance comparison of the acquisition array system is also provided. Conclusively, the introduced multichannel adaptive noise canceling techniques are very effective in recovering transmitted EM telemetry signals.
