Characteristics of spoken language required for objective quality evaluation of echo cancellers

چکیده
Performance of the echo canceller can be conventionally measured by putting white Gaussian noise into the echo canceller system. However, white Gaussian noise is not adequate as the test signal, since the performance may depend on the characteristics of input test signal, and the characteristics of the white Gaussian noise differ from those of real spoken language. This paper describes characteristics of spoken language required for objective quality evaluation of echo cancellers. Following test signals having various time and frequency characteristics of spoken language are examined: white Gaussian noise, frequency weighted Gaussian noise, artificial voice, composite source signal, and real voice. It is concluded that artificial voice having average characteristics of spoken language in time and frequency domain is satisfied for objective quality evaluation of echo cancellers other than conventional white Gaussian noise, frequency weighted white Gaussian noise, and composite source signal.

Echo in the telephone network is a well-known phenomenon -long delays and noticeable echo may create significant or even unbearable disturbance in a telephone conversation. Echo cancellation is a technique to reduce the echo to an acceptable level. In fact, network echo canceller is considered as the single most critical element impacting overall voice quality in typical communication networks....

Identifying spoken language automatically is to identify a language from the speech signal. Language identification systems can be divided into two categories, spectral-based methods and phonetic-based methods. In the former, short-time characteristics of speech spectrum are extracted as a multi-dimensional vector. The statistical model of these features is then obtained for each language. The ...

Echo canceller plays an important role in the full-duplex communication system. Conventional implementations of echo cancellers are often the adaptive transversal filter architectures due to the simplicity and robustness of stability and convergence. However, the conventional echo cancellers suffer from high cost problem especially when the response time of the echo is long. In this paper, a ne...
