Ok , assume echo tail length is less that or equal to 64 sample. Is it possible to get coefficient of the adaptive filter by solving 64 linear equation? Input is known, output is known , only unknon is coefficient? Has anybody tried this ? Is it too inefficient?

Various forms of NLMS, PNLMS, FAP are used today, but they all have their roots in Weiner's work. Nothing fundamentally better has come along. They take a lot of compute, so some brilliant new solution would be most welcome. Don't hold your breath, though. Regards, Steve

And, for stability with varying input levels, the NLMS is by far the algorithm of choice. Look at what the LMS is trying to do. It is trying to construct the Wiener filter R^-1(x,x)r(x,d). R is the autocorrelation matrix of the input, and r is the cross corrleation of the input and desired. So, yes, 64 equations are solved to give a 64-dimensional vector. HOWEVER, at what price? Are you going to have an accurate estimate of the corellations? What happens if the autocorrelation matrix is not a "nice" matrix? What happens if you can't find an inverse? Yes, you can do it, but is it worth it? General question for the group. Let the unknown system be an unstable system. Can the LMS algorithm still estimate the coefficients of the impulse response?

If your data has a phase ambiguity between the signal's sample clock and its modulation, then the matrix method (formed by setting up a system of the linear equations) will be "too exact" in that it tries to correct the phase issues as well. So if the solution resulting from the matrix method is applied to another block of data with a difference phase offset, the results probably won't be good. I've seen in this case where the matrix solution introduces high frequency artifacts into the "corrected" signal. On the other hand a block of data that has a reference signal in part of it, then the matrix solution can work wonderfully well for the rest of the data block providied the sample clock has a high temporal coherence. An LMS approach with reasonably slow adaptation can average out the phase issues for nonphase locked situations. Clay

As long as the system diverges slower then the LMS converges. The LMS can catch up even if the echo canceller came into the oscillation.

If you are not in a pratical way, you just need the filter coefs, you can you use the Wiener filter.

Don't hold your breath, though.Actually, there is something new and it is working really well (and it is less complex than adaptive filtering) : http://lcavwww.epfl.ch/~cfaller/mypapers/faller03_AES114_PEC.pdf Olivier Hochreutiner DSP/Embedded Software Engineer

He is using NLMS. What he is describing is a sub-band NLMS algorithm. This was originally described by Widrow in the 1960's. Several techniques have been used to decompose the input signal, including FFT DCT, wavelats, FSF, etc. It has been called by different names such as sub- band decomposition, sub-band LMS, and frequency-domain LMS to name a few.
