Current noise processing algorithms designed for nonlinear channels within these frequency ranges, which are predicated on fractional <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>-order moment alpha stable distribution  criteria (where 0\u2009&lt;\u2009<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009<jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20092, and <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>\u03b1<\/jats:italic> denote distinct characteristic indices of alpha stable distribution noise), are constrained by their reliance on limited <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>-order moment statistics. As a result, the performance of low-frequency nonlinear channel receivers experiences significant degradation when confronted with robust pulse noise interference (0\u2009&lt;\u2009<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009\u03b1\u2009&lt;\u20092). To tackle this challenge, the present study introduces a novel variable step robust mixed norm (RMN) adaptive filtering algorithm, designated as SVS-RMN, which is based on the Sigmoid function. Leveraging the nonlinearity of the Sigmoid function and building upon the power function Hammerstein nonlinear channel model, the algorithm aims to enhance the RMN algorithm by deriving new cost functions and adaptive iteration formulas. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated in comparison to conventional RMN algorithms based on fractional low-order moment (FLOM) criteria (0\u2009&lt;\u2009<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20092), as well as other algorithms employing variable step sizes and either FLOM or radial basis function (RBF) criteria, across various intensities of pulse noise and mixed signal-to-noise ratios. The experimental results reveal the following: (1) The proposed algorithm effectively mitigates strong pulse noise interference and significantly enhances the tracking performance of the RMN algorithm compared to conventional RMN algorithms based on FLOM criteria. (2) In terms of computational efficiency, simplicity of structure, convergence speed, and stability, the proposed algorithm surpasses other algorithms based on FLOM or RBF criteria.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13634-023-01102-2","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,6]],"date-time":"2024-01-06T08:02:33Z","timestamp":1704528153000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Variable step size VLF\/ELF nonlinear channel adaptive filtering algorithm based on Sigmoid function"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"2024","author":[{"given":"Sumou","family":"Hu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6684-4781","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hui","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Danling","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jie","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,6]]},"reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"1102_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"371","DOI":"10.1109\/TCOM.1974.1092211","volume":"22","author":"H Rowe","year":"1974","unstructured":"H.
