This book was written in response to the growing demand for a text that
provides a unified treatment of linear and nonlinear complex valued
adaptive filters, and methods for the processing of general complex
signals (circular and noncircular). It brings together adaptive
filtering algorithms for feedforward (transversal) and feedback
architectures and the recent developments in the statistics of complex
variable, under the powerful frameworks of CR (Wirtinger) calculus and
augmented complex statistics. This offers a number of theoretical
performance gains, which is illustrated on both stochastic gradient
algorithms, such as the augmented complex least mean square (ACLMS), and
those based on Kalman filters. This work is supported by a number of
simulations using synthetic and real world data, including the
noncircular and intermittent radar and wind signals.
