Robust Adaptive Filtering Based on Exponential Functional Link Network

Abstract

The exponential functional link network (EFLN) has been recently investigated and applied to nonlinear filtering. This brief proposes an adaptive EFLN filtering algorithm based on a novel inverse square root (ISR) cost function, called the EFLN-ISR algorithm, whose learning capability is robust under impulsive interference. The steady-state performance of EFLN-ISR is rigorously derived and then confirmed by numerical simulations. Moreover, the validity of the proposed EFLN-ISR algorithm is justified by the actually experimental results with the application to hysteretic nonlinear system identification.
