“…4,6,11 However, the convergence performance of these algorithms is severely deteriorated when the input signal is correlated (also called the colored input signal). 6,7,[16][17][18][19] To efficiently suppress the impulsive noise, the sign algorithm (SA) 16 and its variants 6,17 were proposed by optimizing the l 1 -norm cost function, but their convergence rates are very slow for the correlated input. In the SAF, the correlated input signal is partitioned into almost mutually exclusive multiple subband signals by the analysis filters; then, the decimated subband signals close to white are used to update the filter's weight vector, thus improving the convergence rate.…”
