Abstract:
A fast recursive-least-squares (FRLS) adaptive notch filter (ANF) for cancellation of sinusoidal interference from recorded biomedical signals is investigated. The FRLS ANF is derived by making an approximation to the conventional recursive-least-squares (RLS) ANF for computation economy. It outperforms the commonly adopted least-mean-squares (LMS) ANF, demonstrating a rapid and bandwidth-insensitive initial convergence. A novel application of the FRLS ANF is for the elimination of the tonal artefact in distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) signals.
