1.4 Adaptive IIR Filters for Loudspeaker Parameter Tracking
Andrew Bright Nokia TP, Helsinki, Finland
Adaptive IIR filters offer a simple method for in-situ tracking of loudspeaker parameters. The convergence
properties of standard adaptive IIR algorithms can, however, be sub-optimal, when applied to loudspeaker system
identification using electrical impedance measurement. The normalized-LMS IIR algorithm described by Widrow
and Stearns (1985) [1] either converges slowly or creates excess residual error. This paper shows that, by varying
the convergence parameter with the error signal, and by using the square-root of the gradient estimate,
convergence time and residual error can be kept within useful limits. Examples based on music signals measured
from actual loudspeakers are shown.
