MATLAB Implementation of LMS Algorithm

This article presents the MATLAB implementation of the LMS algorithm and explores its applications in smart antennas and beamforming. The LMS algorithm is an adaptive filtering technique based on gradient descent principles, enabling dynamic adjustment of input signals to enhance antenna system performance. Through MATLAB implementation key components include: 1) Initialization of filter coefficients using zeros or random values, 2) Iterative weight update using the formula w(n+1) = w(n) + μ·e(n)·x(n) where μ is the step size, e denotes error signal, and x represents input vector, 3) Real-time adaptation through continuous error minimization. By employing the LMS algorithm, automatic antenna optimization and precise beam control can be achieved, resulting in improved signal reception and transmission in wireless communication and radar systems. This article discusses the fundamental principles of the LMS algorithm, implementation steps with corresponding MATLAB code examples, and provides practical application cases. The MATLAB implementation typically involves functions like filter() for signal processing and manual weight updates through vector operations. We hope this article helps readers better understand the application and implementation process of the LMS algorithm in adaptive signal processing systems.
