Summary :

In a recent paper, we proposed a subband echo canceler (SBEC) structure that has a shorter transmission delay than conventional SBEC structures and is free of distortion due to frequency gaps or aliased components. The double-talk detector we propose in this paper, takes advantages of the subband realization form and is based on adaptive echo canceler operation even during periods of double-talk. The computationally simple structure quickly and accurately detects periods of double-talk and track variations in echo path characteristics. The extended complex LMS algorithm we also propose avoids distortion during periods of double-talk. Computer simulations using white noise and actual speech signals confirm fast tracking speed, accurate double-talk detection, and other desirable features of the proposed scheme. We evaluated the proposed hardware structure using a WE DSP32C development system. Assuming a 16 kHz sampling rate, a decimation factor of 32, and a 4000-tap echo path, we found 4 DSP chips to be sufficient to implement the proposed scheme. Results of our experiments show almost the same convergence performance as that obtained in computer simulation.
