This paper reviews the past and the recent research on Adaptive Filter algorithms based on adaptive noise cancellation systems. In many applications of noise cancellation, the change in signal characteristics could be quite fast which requires the utilization of adaptive algorithms that converge rapidly. Algorithms such as LMS and RLS proves to be vital in the noise cancellation are reviewed including principle and recent modifications to increase the convergence rate and reduce the computational complexity for future implementation. The purpose of this paper is not only to discuss various noise cancellation LMS algorithms but also to provide the reader with an overview of the research conducted.

Noise cancellation from the speech signal is the most importanttask in applications like communications, hearing aids, speech therapy and many others. This allows providing good resolution speech signal to the user. The speech signals are mostlycontaminated due to the several natural as well as manmade noises. As the characteristics of these noises random in its nature filtering techniques with fixed coefficients are not suitable for noise cancellation task. Hence, in this work an adaptive noise canceller algorithmhas driven for enhancement of speech signal applications which has the capability to update its weight coefficients based on the statistical nature of the undesired component in the actual speech signal. In our experiments in order to achieve better convergence rate as well as filtering capability we propose Step Variable Least Mean Square (SVLMS) algorithm instead of constant step parameter. The computational complexity of the speech enhancement process is also a key aspect due to the excessive length of the speech signals in realistic scenario. Hence, to reduce the computational complexity of the proposed mechanism we used Sign Regressor SVLSM (SRSVLMS), which is a hybrid realization of familiar sign regressor algorithm and the proposed SVLMS. Using these two techniques noise cancellation models are developed and tested on real speech signals with unwanted noise contaminations. The experimental outputsconfirm that the SRSVLMS based speech signal enhancement unit performs better than its counterpart with respect to convergence rate, computational complexity and signal to noise ratio increment

There are three dominant noise mechanisms in an analog optical fiber link. These are shot noise that is proportional to the mean optical power, relative intensity noise (RIN) that is proportional to the square of the instanteaneous optical power. This report describes an adaptive noise cancellation of these dominant noise processes that persist an analog optical fiber link. The performance of an analog optical fiber link is analyzed by taking the effects of these noise processes. Analytical and simulation results show that some improvement in signal to noise ratio (SNR) and this filter is effective to remove noise adaptively from the optical fiber link.
