AbstractIt is known that the conventional adaptive filtering algorithms can have good performance for non-sparse systems identification, but unsatisfactory performance for sparse systems identification. The normalized least mean absolute third (NLMAT) algorithm which is based on the high-order error power criterion has a strong anti-jamming capability against the impulsive noise, but reduced estimation performance in case of sparse systems. In this paper, several sparse NLMAT algorithms are proposed by inducing sparse-penalty functions into the standard NLMAT algorithm in order to exploit the system sparsity. Simulation results are given to validate that the proposed sparse algorithms can achieve a substantial performance improvement for a sparse system and robustness to impulsive noise environments.
