  • This paper proposes a performance improvement method of the conventional double talk detection method which can operate before convergence of the echo canceller. The proposed method estimates the coefficients of the linear predictive coding(LPC) filter by using the primary input signal. The time-varying threshold for double talk detection is determined based on the LPC filter gain of the primary input signal level. The proposed method can reduce not only false detection rate which means wrong detection of single talk as double talk but also double talk detection delay. Computer simulation was performed using a long-term real speech signals. It is shown that the proposed method improves the conventional method in terms of lowering the false detection rate and shortening the detection delay.

  • Recently most of A/V devices are being adopted hi-tech of A VRCP and changed to mobile environment. AVRCP is designed to provide a standard interface to control A/V devices, hi-fi equipment, or others to allow a single remote control or other device to control all the A/V equipment to which a user has access. It may be used in concert with A2DP or VDP. The AVRCP defines two roles, that of a controller and target device. In AVRCP, the controller translates the detected user action to the A/V control signal, and then transmits it to a remote Bluetooth enabled device. It can be small and mixed mobile devices using bluetooth technologies. The functions available for a conventional infrared remote controller can be realized in this protocol. The remote control described in this protocol is designed specifically for A/V control only. We designed new DSP using Adaptive Acoustic Echo Canceller for bluetooth hands free based this AVRCP standard specifications.

  • 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.

  • In the linear combination type stereophonic echo canceller, it is known not to converge the coefficient vector of the adaptive filter to a correct echo path. In this report, we analyze the convergence value of the filter coefficient vector of the stereo echo canceling algorithm using input signals of all channels in relation to this problem. In this analysis, one of the two inputs to the un-known system and adaptive one are assumed to be a delayed and attenuated version of the other signal as a model of the input signal with a strong cross-correlation. As a result, it is shown for the coefficient vectors not to converge to echo paths, and nor to converge to the value which depends on the time delay and the attenuation of the input signal. We show that the computer simulation result are corresponding to our analytical results.

  • In this Paper. we Presents subband design techniques of a compensating filter and adaptive feedback canceller for the digital hearing aid. The sensorineural hearing loss has a hearing threshold that shows a nonlinear characteristic in frequency domain. and its compensation suffers from an echo that produced by an undesired time varying feedback path. Therefore. the digital hearing aid requires the compensator that can adjust gains nonlinearly in frequency bands and eliminate the echo rapidly In the Proposed digital hearing aid. the compensating filter is designed by the adaptive system identification method in subband structure, and the adaptive feedback canceller is designed by the subband affine projection algorithm. The designed compensation filter can control the nonlinear gain in each subband respectively, therefore precise compensation is possible. And the feedback canceller using the subband adaptive filter achieves fast convergence rate. The Performances of the Proposed method are verified by computer simulations as comparing with the behaviors of the previous trials.

  • The adaptive echo canceller (AEC) has become an important component in speech communication systems, including mobile station. In these applications, the acoustic echo path has a long impulse response. We propose a running-average least mean square (RALMS) algorithm with a detection method for acoustic echo cancellation. Using colored input models, the result clearly shows that the RALMS detection algorithm has a convergence performance superior to the least mean square (LMS) detection algorithm alone. The computational complexity of the new RALMS algorithm is only slightly greater than that of the standard LMS detection algorithm but confers a major improvement in stability.

  • This paper presents the integrated speech enhancement system for hands-free mobile communication. The proposed integrated system incorporates both acoustic echo cancellation and engine noise reduction device to provide signal enhancement of desired speech signal from the echoed plus noisy environments. To implement the system, a delayless subband adaptive structure is used for acoustic echo cancellation operation. The NLMS based adaptive noise canceller then applied to the residual echo removed noisy signal to achieve the selective engine noise attenuation in dominant frequency component. Two sets of computer simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the system; one for the fixed acoustical environment condition, the other for the robustness of the system in which, more realistic situation, the acoustic transmission environment change. Simulation results confirm the system performance of 20-25dB ERLE in acoustic echo cancellation and 9-19 dB engine noise attenuation in dominant frequency component for both cases.

  • 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.
