An adaptive echo canceler with two echo path models is proposed to overcome the false adaptation problem for double-talking. The echo canceler possesses two separate echo path models (EPMs), one (background EPM) for adaptively identifying echo path transfer characteristics and the other (foreground EPM) for synthesizing an echo replica to cancel out echo. The parameter values of the foreground EPM are refreshed by those of the background EPM, according to a transfer control logic, when the logic determines that the background EPM is giving a better approximation of echo path transfer characteristics than the foreground EPM. Completely digital hardware implementation is described. Using the hardware, it is shown that virtually complete double-talking protection is actually realizable by the new method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
