Subset Parallel Adaptive Volterra Filter (SPAVF) design algorithm is proposed in this letter. Contri-bution factor is introduced in SPAVF, and it can get rid of redundant elements efficiently in the extended input vector. Computational weight can be reduced largely, and BER performance of SPAVF can be improved by getting rid of the influence of redundant elements in the input vector. Simulation result proves its advantage compared to AVF and PSVF. Contri-bution factor is introduced in SPAVF, and it can get rid of redundant elements efficiently in the extended input vector.
