<p>A filter (36) for use in filtering noise from cyclical signals have a data component and a noise component in which a predetermined number of the cyclical signals are averaged to produce an average signature signal (76). The average signature signal (76) is updated each cycle (74) to produce a current updated average signature signal, and the current cyclical signals and the current updated average signals are substracted (68) from one another to remove the noise component and produce a residual signal (72) which contains the data component. The time frames of the current cyclical signals and the current updated average signals are adjusted (78) to be equal so as to enable point by point subtraction. As an additional feature, the updating of the average signature combines a portion of the last average pump signature with a portion of the last residual signal (74).</p> |
