A Cascaded Non-linear Acoustic Echo Canceller Combining Power Filtering and Clipping Compensation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report presents a novel, cascaded approach to non-linear acoustic echo cancellation (AEC). The loudspeaker enclosure microphone (LEM) system is divided into two blocks: non-linear clipping and power filtering, and a conventional, linear AEC. They represent the non-linear amplifier and loudspeaker and linear acoustic channel and up-link path in a typical mobile communication scenario. We propose an efficient approach for clipping compensation to improve the performance of the non-linear AEC in the presence of amplifier distortion. It is shown to give a reliable estimate of quasi static clipping in both artificial and practical environments with real speech signals. The cascaded approach to clipping compensation and power filtering is also more efficient than the alternative approach where clipping compensation is integrated into a higher-order power filter. Index Terms Echo cancellation, non-linear distortion, power filter, clipping, NLMS, Volterra.

Acoustic echo cancellation using NLMS-neural network structures
One of the limitations of linear adaptive echo cancellers is nonlinearities which are generated mainly in the loudspeaker. The complete acoustic channel can be modelled as a nonlinear system convolved with a linear dispersive echo channel. Two new acoustic echo canceller models are developed to improve nonlinear performance. The first model consists of a time-delay feedforward neural network (T...

Stereophonic acoustic echo cancellation is one of the expanding areas in the field of the speech/multimedia communication systems. In a conventional stereophonic acoustic echo canceller, working in a stereo communication system, the existence of the strong cross-correlation between the input signals to the two channels has the problem of the low convergence speed of the weights of the adaptive ...
متن کاملOptimization of a noise reduction preprocessing in an acoustic echo and noise controller
In hands-free communications, the speech signal to be transmitted is disturbed by ambient noise and acoustic echo. So, a processing to reduce these disturbances must be performed before transmission. Classical solutions are cascaded structures where the acoustic echo canceller preceeds or follows the noise reduction system. Recently, we have proposed a new joint system where a noise reduction p...

Nonlinearities in the amplifier and loudspeaker of hands-free speakerphones limit the performance of linear adaptive acoustic echo cancellers, necessitating the use of nonlinear cancellation schemes. A nonlinear acoustic echo canceller based on the WienerHammerstein model structure of a cascade of linear, memoryless nonlinear, and linear elements is proposed. By modeling the true structure of t...

This paper describes two schemes for combining acoustic echo and noise reduction using a GSVD-based optimal filtering technique. The GSVD-based filtering technique is a signal enhancement technique which has recently been proposed for noise reduction in multi-microphone speech signals. In many speech communication applications however also a far-end echo source is present. Therefore a combined ...
