Frequency-domain block-adaptive digital filter

摘要

A frequency-domain block-adaptive digital filter (FDAF) having a finite impulse response of length N for filtering a time-domain input signal in accordance with the overlap-save method includes window means (11) for obtaining modifications (B(p;m)) of the 2N frequency-­domain weighting factors (W(p;m)) from correlation pro­ducts (A(p;m)). A known FDAF of this type contains five 2N-points FFT's, two of which are used in the window means (11). By utilizing a special time-domain window function which can be implemented very efficiently in the window means (11) with the aid of a frequency-domain convolution, a FDAF of this type containing only three 2N-point FFT's is obtained whose convergence properties are comparable to those of the known FDAF containing five 2N-point FFT's.
