(8.D.2.2 ) SbNLMS
Overview
Subband normalized LMS adaptive filter
Discussion
The SbNLMS module implements a subband-based normalized LMS algorithm. There is a separate complex filter within each subband. The module takes 2 single channel inputs: filter input data and reference signal (desired filter output). For every data sample the filter output is compared to the reference signal and this information is used to update the filter taps according to the normalized LMS algorithm. The module always has 2 single channel ouputs: adaptive filter output and error signal, (reference-(filter output)). The array .coeffs holds complex filter coefficients and is of size numTaps x numBins, where numBins is the number of frequency domain bins (or subbands). numBins equals the FFT size / 2 + 1. The coefficients are stored in coeffs in normal order. The state variable array is complex data of size numTaps x numBins, and circular buffer is used within each subband.
The constructor argument MAXTAPS specifies the maximum number of taps in the filter. The variable .numTaps specifies how many taps are actually used. numTaps is in the range 1 to MAXTAPS.
The constructor argument MUINPUT determines where the adaptation parameter mu is taken from. By default, MUINPUT = 0 and the adaptation parameter is taken from the internal parameter .mu; the same factor is used for all subbands. If MUINPUT = 1, then the module has a 3rd input pin. This pin contains real data of size FFT size / 2 + 1 and each point specifies the mu factor for each subband. This allows external logic to be used when computing mu and allows mu to vary between subbands. When MUINPUT = 1 then the internal paramter .mu is ignored.

MATLAB Usage
File Name: sb_nlms_module.m
M=sb_nlms_module(NAME, MAXTAPS, MUINPUT)
Complex normalized LMS filter which operates in the subband domain.
This module works in conjunction with the STFT analysis and synthesis
module in Audio Weaver. The module has 2 single channel input pins
and 2 single channel output pins:
Input Pin 1: dataIn - Adaptive filter desired output
Input Pin 2: reference - Adaptive filter input
Output Pin 1: dataOut - output of the adaptive filter
Output Pin 2: errorSignal - difference between dataIn and dataOut
Arguments:
NAME - name of the module.
MAXTAPS - maximum length of the filter (number of complex taps).
MUINPUT - optional Boolean input which specifies whether the per
bin mu parameter is input on a pin. By default,
MUINPUT = 0 and the mu factor for all filters is set
by the parameter .mu. When MUINPUT = 1, then the
third input pin on the mu specifies the per bin mu
parameter and the instance variable .mu is ignored.
