An Alternating Selection for Parallel Affine Projection Filters

We present a new structure for parallel affine projection (AP) filters with different step-sizes. By observing their error signals, the proposed alternating AP (A-AP) filter selects one of the two AP filters and updates the weights of the selected filter for each iteration. As a result, the total computations required for the proposed structure is almost the same as that for a single AP filter. Experimental results show that the proposed alternating selection scheme extracts the best properties of each component filter, namely fast convergence and small steady-state error.
