Assumption
Assume

that we have a input signal:

x(n) = d(n) + v1(n)
With d(n) is signal source and v1(n) is noise
source.
We want to remove the noise v1(n), we use a
sensor to record the noise v2(n),which is the
input to the Wiener filter that is used to
estimate the noise v1(n), the Wiener-Hopf
equation are:
Rv2w = rv1v2

Derive W-H solution

We consider

the same data model as for

filtering: x(n) = d(n) + v1(n) or x = d + v1
where d = [d(n), . . . , d(n p + 1)]T
and v1 = [v1(n), . . . , v1(n p + 1)]T .
This time we estimate v1(n) from a correlated
noise source v2(n), and estimate d(n) as
d(n) = x(n) v1(n) with
v1(n) = wTv2
where v2 = [v2(n), . . . , v2(n p + 1)]T .

To estimate v1(n) from v2(n), we start from

the Wiener-Hopf equations
Rv2w = rv1v2
Since rv1v2 is generally not known, we can
rewrite this as
rv1v2 = E{v1(n)v2*} = E{(d(n) + v1 (n)) v2*} =
E{x(n) v2*} = rxv2

and thus the Wiener-Hopf equations can be

written as
Rv2w = rxv2
As already mentioned, d(n) is then
estimated as
d(n) = x(n) v1(n) with v1(n) = wTv2

Description:

This on of the project that shows

how to implement Wiener filter as noise
cancellations. Our desired response is d(n)
output is x(n). We have noise v(n), v1(n) and
v2(n) that have the following relationship
v1(n)= 0.8*v1(n-1)+v(n) and
v2(n)= -0.6v2(n-1)+v(n)
where v(n) is AWGN.
The ouptut is x(n)=d(n)+v1(n)

Conclusion
This method is useful is in air-to-air
communications between pilots in fighter aircraft or
in air-to-ground communication between a pilot and
a control tower. Since there is often a large amount
of engine and wind noise within the cockpit of the
fighter aircraft, communication is often a difficult
problem. However , if a secondary microphone is
placed within the cockpit of an aircraft, then one
may estimate the noise that is transmitted when the
pilots speaks into microphone, and subtract this
estimate from the transmitted signal, thereby
increasing the signal-to-noise- ratio.
