The paper presents a new normalized least mean fourth (NLMF) algorithm. The algorithm is derived through the minimization of the mean fourth normalized estimation error. The main advantage of the algorithm with respect to the available NLMF algorithms is that it remains stable as the input power of the adaptive filter increases. A stability step size bound of the proposed algorithm is derived. The step size bound depends on the weight initialization, while it does not depend on the input power of the adaptive filter. Simulation results support the analytical results of the paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
