Opening with an explanation of transmission systems, this text moves on to discuss the theory of adaptive transversal (FIR) filters, covering the optimal filter, transient error and steady-state fluctuations. Practical implementation of this theory is explored. The LMS filter and simplified sign-algorithms are explained in detail. Several chapters are devoted to methods for tracking time-variations and the book draws to a close with a discussion of adaptive recursive (IIR) filters.
