Summary :

An acoustic echo canceller that also cancels room noise is proposed. This system has an additive (noise reference) input port, and a noise canceller (NC) precedes the echo canceller (EC) in a cascade configuration. The adaptation control problem for the cascaded echo and noise canceller is solved by controlling the adaptation process to match the occurrence of intermittent speech/echo; the room noise is a stationary signal. A simulation shows that adaptation using the NLMS algorithm is very effective for the echo and noise cancellation. Sub-band cancelling techniques are utilized. Noise cancellation is realized with a lower band EC. Hardware is implemented and its performance evaluated through experiments under a real acoustic field. The combination of the EC with NC maintains excellent performance at all echo to room noise power ratios. It is shown that the proposed canceller overcomes the disadvantages traditionally associated with ECs and NSc.
