Abstract
An adaptive filter, such as a low pass filter, has a time constant, t , controlled by the equation t = 1/ a + bW ), where a is a constant, W is the difference between two successive values of a signal passing through the filter and b is the sum of a proportional controller gain Kp (a constant) and an integral term Ki/(1-z<-1>) , where the constant Ki is the integral controller gain. Thus a PI controller is provided for modifying the bandwidth of an adaptive filter. The controller may be a proportional, derivative and integral controller (PID), in which case b contains the additional term (1-z<-1>) Kd, where the constant Kd is the derivative controller gain. In a preferred embodiment the adaptive filter is connected in series with an adaptive channel equaliser. At the beginning of the adaptive equalization process the filter adopts a large bandwidth to maximise the adaption speed, but then automatically reduces its bandwidth when the equaliser becomes close to a static value, in order to decrease the effect of noise. The additional integral term reduces the disturbance rejection bandwidth and resonant frequency.

Bandwidth adaptation rule for adaptive noise filter for inverse filtering with improved disturbance rejection bandwidth The present invention relates to the rule for changing the bandwidth of a noise filter.
Background
In digital communications, a considerable effort has been devoted to neutralise the effect of channels (i.e., the combination of transmit filters, media and receive filters) in transmission systems, so that the available channel bandwidth is utilised efficiently. The objective of channel neutralization is to design a system that accommodates the highest possible rate of data transmission, subject to a specified reliability, which is usually measured in terms of the error rate or average probability of symbol error.
An equaliser normally performs neutralization of any disturbances the channel may introduce by making the overall frequency response function T(z) to be flat. An equaliser cascaded to a channel is shown in Figure 1. A channel is cascaded with its inverse system. Ideally, inputs appear in the output without any distortion. Since in reality a channel is time varying, due to variations in a transmission medium, the received signal is nonstationary. Therefore, an adaptive equaliser is utilised to provide control over the time response of a channel.
The characteristic function of channels (i.e., the combination of transmit filters, media and receive filters) is that of a low pass filter. Since an adaptive equaliser is an inverse system of a channel, it amplifies the frequency of noise outside the bandwidth of a channel. In order to reduce the effect of noise, a low pass filter is cascaded with the equaliser. However, the cascaded filter can introduce a negative impact on the speed of adaptation. Therefore, the bandwidth of the cascaded filter is chosen to be very wide at the beginning of the adaptation process. l his way, the output reaching the static value will not be delayed. As the output of the adaptive filter is close to the static value, the bandwidth decreases to cancel the effect of noise.
! In order to illustrate this philosophy, a first order low pass filter will be considered. Hn()=-l-e (1) I- e where T is the sampling period and T is the filter time constant.
However, the consideration presented applies to the higher order low pass filters too. Therefore equation l becomes: h97( -) = (2) tI-z'e r where n = 1,2,3,...
The time constant r bounds the bandwidth of the filter. The lower the values of r result in a wider bandwidth and vice versa. The adaptive rule for noise filter can be defined as: 1 (3) Or +, (see Shi, W.J., White, N. M. and Brignell, J.E. (1993): Adaptive filters in load cell response correction, Sensors and Actuators A, A 37-38:280-285).
The constants a and depend on the level of noise and are chosen by trial and error method. is a variable that is used to change the value of r and consequently the bandwidth of the filter. There are several ways of determining the A, two of them are presented in Figure 2.
decreases in steady state condition and hence the time constant of the noise filter T increases. This turns out a narrowband noise filter that rejects the noise effectively, which is desirable for steady state condition. In the non steady state condition is large, so the time constant of the noise i1lter is small. This means the output of the adaptive equaliser comes out quickly fi-om the output of the noise filter.
Therefore, the adaptive rule can adjust the parameters of the adaptive equaliser.
( It is evident from figure 2 that is the difference of two successive values and acts as an input to the proportional controller. Furthermore, in the same equation, represents a proportional (P) controller gain (Kp). In order to reduce the offset to an acceptable level, Kp has to be tuned to a satisfactory value. Increasing the proportional gain allows shaping of the sensitivity function and hence improves steady-state accuracy and low frequency disturbance rejection. However, by increasing the proportional gain the stability margin is reduced and resonant peaks are magnified.
Therefore, there may occur a situation where for stability reasons a proportional gain cannot be increased further and the offset will not be reduced to the acceptable level.
Consequently, a noise filter bandwidth will not be reduced to the value determined by and required steady state accuracy will not be achieved.
Summary of the Invention
In order to reduce the disturbance rejection bandwidth, resonant frequency and rectify a potential problem, an integral (I) control mode is proposed to be added to the existing proportional control mode.
Thus, a first aspect of the present invention provides a method for adapting the bandwidth of a filter, the method comprising determining the difference between two successive values of a signal passing through the filter and modifying the bandwidth on the basis of a plurality of control variables including a proportional control variable proportional to said difference between successive values and an integral control variable related to the integral of the difference between successive values.
In another aspect of the invention in order to enable faster adaptation of the bandwidth to sudden change, a derivative (D) control mode is also proposed to be added to the existing proportional control mode and integral control mode.
Thus, the present invention also provides a method for adapting the bandwidth of a filter, wherein the plurality of control variables includes a differential control variable related to the differential of the difference between successive values.
( It is possible for the differential control variable to be used without the integral control variable. That is the subject of our corresponding patent application filed on the same day as this application.
Brief description of the drawings
An embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is a channel cascaded with its inverse system as used in the prior art.
Ideally, inputs appear in the output without any distortion.
Figure 2 is an Adaptive filter cascaded with an adaptive bandwidth noise filter as used in the prior art.
Description of the preferred embodiment of the Invention
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the aforementioned integral control mode changes it's output by an amount proportional to the integral of the difference of two successive values which intern affects the bandwidth. Consequently, the output will change at a rate proportional to the size of the difference. When combined with the proportional mode, integral mode provides an automatic reset action that eliminates the proportional offset and enables reaching a required filter bandwidth determined by a.
To further enhance the proposed solution, adding the derivative (D) control mode is proposed too. This mode is used in an attempt to anticipate the difference of two successive values by observing the rate of change of the difference and anticipating the next state of the difference accordingly. This enables faster adaptation of a bandwidth to a sudden change in the value of the difference. However, the derivative gain enlarges the disturbance rejection bandwidth and amplifies high frequency change. Therefore, it is always used in combination with PI components, where it provides a much "faster" function than a solely proportional law.
s ( In the proposed adaptive rule for adjusting a bandwidth of noise filter, the product pA from the time constant equation 3 is substituted by the following function: X=Kp -a ', +(I-z ')Ka:A (4) It will be appreciated that the term KpA represents the aforementioned proportional control variable, I- represents the integral control variable and (I z ') KA represents the differential control variable. Thus, As is the sum of these control variables. Therefore, the time constant I can be defined as: r= K, - (5) Or + Ky + ', + (I - z)Ku Because the three gains Kp, K, and Kit are adjustable, the proposed adaptive rule can be tuned to provide the desired system response' Method for determining Kp, K, and Kit gain values The gain values can be determined in two steps.
I By determining response specifications, the gain values can be tuned by
intuitive experimentation. Using the observations stated in Table 1, the values could be engineered to produce a satisfactory response. The system stability and frequency response could be then analysed to verify the gain values, satisfying all possible input signals. Whilst this is the least scientific method of tuning, it is the most common method implemented and can often produce an adequate result.
( Table 1 Changing the gain values _ Gain Rise time Overshoot Settling time S-S error _ Kp Decreases Increases No change Decreases K, No change Increases Increases Eliminates Kid Decreases Decreases Decreases No change 2. Using a simulation package, such as MATLAB, Kp' K, and Kd can be exhaustively investigated to minimise a particular cost. The most popular cost functions are: a) The Integral of the Absolute value of the Difference (IAD).
1 k=N-I IAD =- |(k)| (6) -=0 IAD weights all differences equally independent of time and hence often results in an oscillatory response with a long settling time.
Although it provides an analytical method of optimising gain values, it may not be the most suitable criterion.
b) The Integral of Time multiplied by the Absolute value of the Difference (ITAD).
k=N-I ITAD =- k|(k)| (7) N '=o ITAD addresses this problem and weights the differences to put less emphasis upon the initial difference. However? it cannot be evaluated theoretically (it cannot be described in the frequency domain and so this function must be optimised using a numerical method.
