An Acoustic Echo Canceler Using Multimedia PC

멀티미디어 PC를 이용한 음향반향제거기

NLMS algorithm is widely used as acoustic echo canceller. NLMS algorithm is degraded by the ambient noises and the near-end speech signals. In this paper, a robust acoustic echo cancellation algorithm is proposed. To enhance the echo cancellation performance, the step size of the proposed algorithm is normalized by the sum of the power of the reference signals and the primary signals. As results of comparing the excess mean square errors, it is shown that the proposed algorithm can enhance the performance of cancelling the echo signals. Some experiments, which is used multimedia personal computer, are carried out. As results of experiments, the proposed algorithm shows better performance than conventional ones.
