Abstract

The least-mean fourth (LMF) algorithm is well known for its fast convergence and low steady-state error especially in non-Gaussian noise environments. Recently, there has been increasing interest in the least mean square (LMS) algorithms with variable step size. It is because the variable step-size LMS algorithms have shown to outperform the conventional fixed step-size LMS in the various situations. In this paper, a variable step-size LMF algorithm is proposed, which adopts an algebraic optimal step size as a variable step size. It is expected that the proposed algorithm also outperforms the conventional fixed step-size LMF. The superiority of the proposed algorithm is confirmed by the simulations in the time invariant and time variant channels.

LMF(Least Mean Fourth) 알고리즘은 특히 비정규 잡음 상황에서 빠른 수렴성을 나타낼 뿐만 아니라 추정 오차도 낮은 것으로 잘 알려져 있다. 최근 LMS(Least Mean Square) 알고리즘 분야에서는 가변 스텝 크기를 적용한 알고리즘들에 대한 관심이 증대되어 왔다. 그 이유는 가변 스텝 크기 LMS가 다양한 환경에서 고정 스텝 크기 LMS보다 우수한 결과를 내기 때문이다. 본 논문에선 LMF에 대한 가변 스텝 크기의 한 방법으로 대수학적 스텝 크기를 사용하는 가변 스텝 크기 LMF 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 가변 스텝 크기 LMS와 마찬가지로 고정 스텝 크기 LMF보다 우수할 것이 예상된다. 본 논문은 그 우수성을 시불변 채널과 시변 채널 각각의 채널 환경하에서 시뮬레이션을 통하여 보인다.
