Abstract
Hypotheses made about the behavior of the affine projection algorithm (APA) are investigated by means of carefully designed comparative experiments. These experiments lead us to the properties of the direction vector used in APA. Experiments also show that APA converges faster than NLMS in the case of white noise input, leading us to question that whitening of the direction vector is the explaining factor for the convergence acceleration observed with APA. An alternative hypothesis is offered for why APA may yield faster convergence than NLMS.
