This paper presents a novel adaptive pipelined neural finite impulse response (PNFIR) filter for nonlinear
signal processing. Unlike traditional pipelined recurrent neural network (PRNN), each module of the
PNFIR filter is a simple architecture that includes a standard FIR filter followed by a nonlinear activation
function. The complete design of proposed filter includes two subsections: The nonlinear part consists of
neural FIR (NFIR) modules which is interconnected in a chained form and simultaneously executed in a
parallel fashion; the linear subsection is a tapped-delay-line (TDL) linear combiner. Based on convex
combination architecture, the adaptive algorithm derived from the gradient descent approach is utilized
to update weights of the nonlinear and linear parts. Moreover, the analysis of stability conditions and
computational complexity is also presented. Numerous simulation experimental results on nonlinear
dynamic systems identification, speech signal and chaotic time series prediction show that the proposed
PNFIR filter has simpler architecture, faster convergence rate, and lower computation complexity than
the PRNN and joint process filter using pipelined feedforward second-order Volterra architecture
(JPPSOV).
