This paper presents a new adaptive impulse noise cancelling technique based on the adaptive nonlinear suppressing function. The proposed "adaptive threshold algorithm (ATA)" is controlled by the normalized power prior input data term, and this adaptive threshold makes the cancelling system highly robust against additive impulse noise. For the performance evaluation, we have tested the proposed algorithm with the observed signals simulated in various impulsive noise environments and real EMG signals. As a result the proposed algorithm shows superior performance of 51.7% to the available techniques in the points of SNR and MSE.

In this paper, DOA(direction of arrival) of multiple incident signals received from linear array antenna and circular array antenna, which is based on nonparametric estimation algorithm, and adaptive beam-forming algorithm are studied and analyzed. In nonparametric estimation algorithm, we minimize a regularized objective function for finding a estimate of the signal energy as a function of angle, using nonquadratic norm which leads to supper resolution and noise suppression. And then, DOA is estimated by the signal and noise spatial steering vector, and adaptive beam-forming pattern is improved by weight vectors obtained from the spatial vector. Especially, the discrimination ability of DOA and the adaptive beam-forming ability according to antenna array methods and the number of array elements are compared and considered.
