An ADALINE is a n-input single output neural network component, Ts is 2π / ω N s , N s is sampling period, An is
whose output is a linear combination of its inputs [6]. An Vn cos φn , Bn is Vn sin φn and t (k ) is kth sampling time.
ADALINE can be used for online following of harmonic
content of a signal. To illustrate the problem, a signal which
has some harmonics is considered as below:
