Adaptive Filtering and System Identification

Abstract

The primary objectives of this project are to develop new real time algorithms for adaptive filtering, prediction, and system identification with improved efficiency and numerical stability for the large numbers of channels and high filter orders typically required in Air Force applications such as adaptive optics, laser communications, target tracking and image processing. The research supports research and development at the Air Force Research Laboratory on directed energy weapons and laser communications. The advanced tactical laser (ATL), the airborne laser (ABL) and similar weapons systems are the primary Air Force programs motivating the research. Additional application areas include optical wireless communication systems, blind identification and deconvolution in wireless communications, and active control of noise and vibration. This report discusses recent collaborations with the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and industry.
