The subject of high sampling rate realizations for transversal adaptiv
e filters is addressed. In particular, a vectorized version of the del
ayed least mean squares (DLMS) algorithm is derived using lookahead co
mputation techniques. The resulting parallel algorithm is then mapped
onto a linear array of highly pipelined processing modules, which can
accept an input vector of arbitrary length, and compute the correspond
ing output vector in a single clock cycle. The proposed system is show
n to be capable of implementing transversal adaptive filters at sampli
ng rates which are theoretically without bound. The performance of the
proposed system is analyzed and simulation results are presented to v
erify the convergence properties of the algorithm under varying degree
s of vectorization.
