Narrow Band Noise Suppression by Adaptive Notch Filter

Ham-noise, howling, MRI noise, etc., are narrow band noises.

An adaptive notch filter can suppress a narrow band noise whose frequency is unknown.

Since the adaptive notch filter automaticaly removes the narrow band noise, the tracking speed is the most important factor.

We have proposed a parallel adaptive notch filter which achieves high convergence speed and high estimation accuracy, simultaneously.

We used a sinusoid mixed with a white noise as an observed signal, where the sinusoid is unwanted signal.

From results, we see that the parallel notch filter attains high convergence speed.


Experimental Result
  • sinusoid + white
  • Conventional Notch Filter Output
  • Paralell Notch Filter Output
