Abstract.Direct minimization of the mean square error at the output of an FIR digital filter operating stationary signal and noise is considered. It is shown that the problem can be re-stated as a problem of minimizing a GRQ. The latter is solved by a numerical line search algorithm that requires calculations of only two outer matrix products per iteration. Design results are compared with those obtained by using conventional approaches. Other applications of the procedure are outlined.
