Abstract

This paper proposes the improved orthogonal projection method as a new technique advancing the performance of the acoustic echo canceller. Comparing with the widely used NLMS adaptive algorithm which is simple and stable, it shows that this method has the improvement of the convergence speed for signals with the large auto-correlation, and has small computational quantities. In order to testify performances of the orthogonal projection method whom this paper proposes, we have coded a simulation program md executed computer simulations. We observed convergence curves by using two adaptive algorithm for noises and speeches. From simulation results for two input signals, the proposed method shows the high ERLE and the fast convergence and the stable operation in case of using speeches as well as noises.

본 논문은 음향반향제거기의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 새로운 기술로서 개선된 직교투사법을 제안한다. 간단하고 안정되어 널리 사용되고 있는 기존의 NLMS 알고리즘과 비교하여, 이 기술은 음성신호와 같이 상호상관도가 높은 신호에 대해 수렴속도가 증가하고 연산량이 감소한다. 제안하는 직교투사법의 성능을 시험하기 위하여 프로그램을 코딩하고 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 두 알고리즘을 사용하여 음성과 잡음에 대한 수렴특성을 관찰하였다. 실험 결과, 제안한 방법은 잡음뿐만 아니라 음성에 대해서도 높은 ERLE와 수렴속도 및 수렴의 안정성 등을 보여 주었다.
