Variable forgetting factor RLS algorithm for adaptive echo cancellation

Adaptive algorithms are widely used for support a wide range of applications. The attractive one application is an echo canceller in the long distance telephone network. The performance improvement of the echo cancellers depends on the choice of the adaptive filtering algorithm. Therefore, in this paper the variable forgetting factor recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm for adaptive lattice structure filter for the echo canceller in telephone network is presented. The proposed echo canceller provides high performance and low misadjustment in steady state for all considered noise distributions.
