The adaptive line enhancer applied to chirp detection

Conference ·

This paper discusses the ability of an adaptive line enhancer (ALE) driven by the least-mean-squares (LMS) algorithm to track the frequency of a chirping signal in broadband noise. The dynamic behavior of the weights is described and a weight tracking error bound is derived in terms in chirp rate. Frequency tracking and weight behavior are illustrated in examples. 6 refs., 7 figs.
