Fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) non-invasively obtained through abdominal recordings serves as a promising diagnostic tool for fetal health monitoring during pregnancy. However, in the abdominal ECG (AECG) signal, FECG overlaps with maternal ECG (MECG) in both temporal and spectral domains in addition to interference from various sources like electromyogram, electrogastrogram, motion artifacts and other noises. The objective of this paper is to eliminate MECG components from AECG signal to extract FECG signal through FIR adaptive noise canceller (ANC) with filter coefficients updated using adaptive algorithms. Adaptive filters are suitable for current problem of interest and Least Mean Square (LMS) and its variants are analyzed for the problem of FECG extraction. We have compared the four variants of LMS such as normalized LMS (NLMS), sign-error algorithm, least mean fourth (LMF) algorithms for FECG extraction. The algorithms are evaluated using real-time abdominal ECG recordings acquired from daisy database. The performance of each algorithm is evaluated using various parameters like sensitivity, accuracy, positive predictive values and [Formula: see text] score. Further, the convergence rate for different algorithms are plotted and analyzed. From the simulation results, it is observed that the LMF algorithm outperforms its counterparts by providing an accuracy and positive predictive value of 73.3%, sensitivity of 100% and [Formula: see text] measure of 84.5%. The convergence plots obtained justify that LMF algorithm has a faster convergence rate compared to the other variants of LMS.

This paper describes the performance of Adaptive Noise Cancellation system. Basic concept of adaptive noise canceller is to process signals from two input sources and to reduce the level of undesired noise with adaptive filtering techniques. Adaptive filtering techniques play vital role in wide range of applications. An implementation of adaptive noise cancellation system is used to remove undesired noise from a received signal for various audio related applications that has been developed and implemented by MATLAB. The dual channel adaptive noise cancellation system uses an adaptive filter with least mean square algorithm to cancel noise component from primary signal picked up by primary sensor. Various parameters such as convergence behavior, tracking ability of the algorithm, signal to noise ratio, mean square error etc. of ANC system are studied, analyzed for various applications of adaptive noise cancellation and the same are discussed in this paper.

Adaptive Noise

Removal of noise components of speech signals in mobile applications  is an important step to facilitate high resolution signals to the user. Throughout the communication method the speech signals are tainted by numerous non stationary noises. The Least Mean Square (LMS) technique is a fundamental adaptive technique usedbroadly in numerouspurposes as anoutcome of its plainness as well as toughness. In LMS technique, an importantfactor is the step size. It bewell-known that if the union rate of the LMS technique will be rapidif the step size is speedy, but the steady-state mean square error (MSE) will raise. On the rival, for the diminutive step size, the steady state MSE will be minute, but the union rate will be conscious. Thus, the step size offers anexchange among the convergence rate and the steady-state MSE of the LMS technique. Build the step size variable before fixed to recover the act of the LMS technique, explicitly, prefer large step size values at the time of the earlyunion of the LMS technique, and usetiny step size values when the structure is near up to its steady state, which results in Normalized LMS (NLMS) algorithms. In this practice the step size is not stable and changes along with the fault signal at that time. The Less mathematical difficulty of the adaptive filter is extremely attractive in speech enhancement purposes. This drop usually accessible by extract either the input data or evaluation fault.  The algorithms depend on an extract of fault or data are Sign Regressor (SR) Algorithms. We merge these sign version to various adaptive noise cancellers. SR Weight NLMS (SRWNLMS), SR Error NLMS (SRENLMS), SR Unbiased LMS (SRUBLMS) algorithms are individual introduced as a quality factor. These Adaptive noise cancellers are compared with esteem to Signal to Noise Ratio Improvement (SNRI).

Adaptive Noise

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

Adaptive Noise

Adaptive filters, as part of digital signal systems, have been widely used, as well as in applications such as adaptive noise cancellation, adaptive beam forming, channel equalization, and system identification. However, its implementation takes a great deal and becomes a very important field in digital system world. When FPGA (Field Programmable Logic Array) grows in area and provides a lot of facilities to the designers, it becomes an important competitor in the signal processing market. In general FIR structure has been used more successfully than IIR structure in adaptive filters. However, when the adaptive FIR filter was made this required appropriate algorithm to update the filter’s coefficients. The algorithm used to update the filter coefficient is the Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm which is known for its simplification, low computational complexity, and better performance in different running environments. When compared to other algorithms used for implementing adaptive filters the LMS algorithm is seen to perform very well in terms of the number of iterations required for convergence. This phenomenon can be achieved by a sufficient choice of bit length to represent the filter’s coefficients. This paper presents a lowcost and high performance programmable digital finite impulse response (FIR) filter. It follows the adaptive algorithm used for the development of the system. The architecture employs the computation sharing algorithm to reduce the computation complexity.
