  • Sound quality metrics applied to road noise evaluation

    Road noise monitoring systems typically measure sound levels in specific time periods. The more insightful approach suggests to measure also the nature of noise. Sound quality of sounds such as car noise can be objectively evaluated by several parameters. One of them is psychoacoustic annoyance, described by loudness, tone color, and the temporal structure of sound. In this paper the assessment of several sound quality parameters, such...

  • A self-optimization mechanism for generalized adaptive notch smoother

    Publication

    Tracking of nonstationary narrowband signals is often accomplished using algorithms called adaptive notch filters (ANFs). Generalized adaptive notch smoothers (GANSs) extend the concepts of adaptive notch filtering in two directions. Firstly, they are designed to estimate coefficients of nonstationary quasi-periodic systems, rather than signals. Secondly, they employ noncausal processing, which greatly improves their accuracy and...

  • Frequency Guided Generalized Adaptive Notch Filtering - Tracking Analysis and Optimization

    Generalized adaptive notch filters (GANFs) are estimators of coefficients of quasi-periodically time-varying systems, encountered e.g., in RF applications when Doppler effect takes place. Current state of the art GANFs can deliver highly accurate estimates of system variations’ frequency, but underperform in terms of accuracy of system coefficient estimates. The paper proposes a novel multistage GANF with improved coefficient...

    In recent times, visible light communication is an emerging technology that supports high speed data communication for wireless communication systems. However, the performance of the visible light communication system is impaired by inter symbol interference, the time dispersive nature of the channel, and nonlinear features of the light emitting diode that significantly reduces the bit error rate performance. To address these problems,...

  • On optimal tracking of rapidly varying telecommunication channels

    When parameters of mobile telecommunication channels change rapidly, classical adaptive filters, such as exponentially weighted least squares algorithms or gradient algorithms, fail to estimate them with sufficient accuracy. In cases like this, one can use identification methods based on explicit models of parameter changes such as the method of basis functions (BF). When prior knowledge about parameter changes is available the...
