A robust frequency-domain echo canceller
نویسنده
چکیده
A recursive transfer function estimation algorithm is presented and analyzed. Applications can be found in either electric or acoustic echo cancellation. The proposed algorithm is robust against burst disturbances that are caused by detection misses of double-talk present at the output of the echo path. A frequency-domain technique is used and a robustness function is derived from a criterion that is valid in the application. Analysis of the robust algorithm shows that good performance is to be expected. The performance of the algorithm when operated on real-life speech data in a full duplex communication system is shown by examples. Double-talk detection misses are shown to be well handled by the robust algorithm; yet, convergence rate and variance efficiency are as high as that of a non-robust least squares algorithm.

This paper proposes a double-talk-robust echo canceller using a smoothed-coefficient filter (SCF). The SCF’s tap coefficients are obtained by smoothing those of a pilot adaptive filter (PAF) for better accuracy and stability. The smoothing time constant is controlled by comparing mean squared high-pass errors of the SCF and the PAF. The high-pass filters enable precise control of the SCF by eli...
