adafilt

This package implements some common (adaptive) filtering operations in Python, that I use mostly for prototyping system identification and active noise control systems.

• adafilt.olafilt: an efficient multichannel overlap-add algorithm for long sequences
• adafilt.FIRFilter: finite-impulse response filter
• adafilt.Delay: a simple delay
• adafilt.LMSFilter: a sample-wise Least-Mean-Square adaptive filter
• adafult.FastBlockLMSFilter: fast, block-wise LMS adaptive filter based on overlap-save sectioning
• adafilt.MultiChannelBlockLMS: same for multi-channel case
• adafilt.RLSFilter: a recursive Least-Squares filter

The following procedures compute optimal Wiener-filters from time-series:

• adafilt.optimal.wiener_filter: compute optimal (causally constrained) Wiener filter for single-channel control
• adafilt.optimal.multi_channel_wiener_filter: compute optimal wiener filter for multi-channel control

Additionally, adafilt.io.FakeInterface can be used to simulate a multichannel plant.

Have a look at the examples, the source code or the following example to get an idea what is possible.

"""A filtered-reference Least-Mean-Square (FxLMS) filter."""

length = 8  # number of adaptive FIR filter taps
blocklength = 2  # length of I/O buffer and blocksize of filter
n_buffers = 150  # size of simulation

# primary and secondary paths
h_pri = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0.5]
h_sec = [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0]

# white noise signal
signal = np.random.normal(0, 1, size=n_buffers * blocklength)

# the adaptive filter
filt = FastBlockLMSFilter(length, blocklength, stepsize=0.1, leakage=0.9999)

# secondary path estimate has to account for block size
plant_model = FIRFilter(np.concatenate((np.zeros(blocklength), h_sec)))

# simulates an audio interface with primary and secondary paths and 40 dB SNR noise
# at the error sensor
sim = FakeInterface(
    blocklength,
    signal,
    h_pri=h_pri,
    h_sec=h_sec,
    noise=wgn(olafilt(h_pri, signal), 40, "dB"),
)

elog = []
y = np.zeros(blocklength)  # control signal is zero for first block
for i in range(n_buffers):
    # record reference signal x and error signal e while playing back y
    x, e, _, _ = sim.playrec(-y)
    # filter the reference signal
    fx = plant_model(x)
    # adapt filter
    filt.adapt(fx, e)
    # filter
    y = filt.filt(x)
    # log error
    elog.append(e)

plt.plot(np.concatenate(elog), label="e", alpha=0.7)
plt.xlabel("Sample")
plt.ylabel("Error Signal")
plt.show()
