Abstract
An adaptive filter for an FM receiver comprises a digital filter, an error detection section for detecting an error between the amplitude of the output signal of the digital filter and a reference value, and a coefficient updating section for updating tap coefficients so as to minimize the error detected. The reference value for determining the error is variably set according to the amplitude of an input signal. This eliminates the effect of Doppler fading included in the reception wave and stabilize the adaptive processing. Thus, the adaptive filter can remove multipath distortion with reliability.
