In many applications requiring filtering, the necessary
frequency response may not be known beforehand, or it may vary with
time. (Example; suppression of engine harmonics in a car stereo.)
In such applications, an adaptive filter which can automatically
design itself and which can track system variations in time is
extremely useful. Adaptive filters are used extensively in a wide
variety of applications, particularly in telecommunications.
