Course Outcomes:

At the end of the course, students should be able to:

• Devise filtering solutions for optimising the cost function indicating error in estimation of parameters and appreciate the need for adaptation in design.
• Evaluate the performance of various methods for designing adaptive filters through estimation of different parameters of stationary random process clearly considering practical application specifications.
• Analyse convergence and stability issues associated with adaptive filter design and come up with optimum solutions for real life applications taking care of requirements in terms of complexity and accuracy.
• Design and implement filtering solutions for applications such as channel equalisation, interference cancelling and prediction considering present day challenges.
