Abstract

This work is devoted to asymptotic properties of a sign-error adaptive filtering algorithm with constant step size. Under much weaker conditions than those that appear in the literature, we obtain convergence and rate of convergence by using weak convergence methods. An example is provided to demonstrate the performance of the algorithm.
