Abstract

In this paper, a special adaptive line enhancer (ALE) structure is developed and tested. The ALE is based on a combination of adaptive filtering and an adaptive nonlinear neural network (ADNN). The main objective of the work is to reduce the background noise from the signal of interest. The proposed structure consists of a three-layer feed forward network with partially connected layers to achieve fast processing. The feedback error is used to train the ADNN. This system is simulated with different levels of interference signals. A comparison analysis of the proposed structure with a classical adaptive least mean square (LMS) line enhancer is presented in this paper. The nonlinear ADNN approach investigated here exhibited noticeable improvements over the traditional NLMS approach.
