AdaptLab: adaptive signal processing environment for education

Presents a software package to be used for the teaching adaptive signal processing. The aim of the Adapt-Lab software is to allow students to understand the fundamentals of real world adaptive signal processing by presenting adaptive algorithms, architectures and applications in a visual form. AdaptLab allows the single channel architectures of system identification, inverse system identification, noise cancellation, prediction and filtered-X implementations to be set up. The user can select adaptive filter type and length, algorithm parameters (such as step size, forgetting factor, leakage, update rate, etc), and an appropriate input signal from a signal generator or the on-disk signal library of typical input signals. The simulation can be started and the user can open signal windows (digital oscilloscope or spectrum analysis) at various points in the algorithm architecture. The simulation can be frozen or stopped at any point and algorithm parameters updated, or the simulation signal results and parameters stored
