The system in which a microphone and a loudspeaker are simultaneously used can cause an echo. The echo is caused by feedback between the output of the loudspeaker and the input of the microphone. The acoustic echo canceller is a device to cancel the echo in a communication system. Its general procedure for cancellation is first estimating the plant response of the feedback path and then eliminating the feedback signal from the input signal. In this paper, full-band and sub-band approaches are compared by using some simulation examples.

Adaptive algorithm used in Acoustic Echo Canceller (AEC) needs fast convergence algorithm when reference signal is colored speech signal. Set-Membership Affine Projection (SMAP) algorithm is derived from the constraint, which is the minimum value adaptive filter coefficient error. In this paper, we test the characteristic about noise of the SMAP algorithm and proposed modified version of SMAP algorithm fur using at AEC. As the projection order increase, the convergence characteristic of the SMAP algorithm is improved where no noise space. But if the noise uncorrelated with input signal exists, the AEC shows bad performance. In this paper, we propose normalized version of adaptive constants using estimated error signal for robust to noise and show the good performance through AEC simulation.

An active noise control (ANC) algorithm for noise canceling headphone is proposed. In this study, the feedback ANC operated with the filtered-x least mean square algorithm (FxLMS) algorithm is used to attenuate the undesired noise. Also an adaptive residual music canceller (RMC) is proposed for enhancing the accuracy of the reference signal of the feedback ANC. Simulation results show that a high quality of music sound can be consistently achieved in a time-varying secondary path situation.

Sidelobe canceller(SLC) requires main beam pattern(SUM beam) and auxiliary beam patterns for rejection of sidelobe noise jammer. For best performance of sidelobe noise jamming cancellation of adaptive SLC, gain dominant region of each auxiliary beam pattern shall not be overlapped one another in elevation/azimuth regions of sidelobe of main beam, and beam patterns of auxiliary channels should have low gains in regions of mainlobe of main beam. In the monopulse radar, the difference beam patterns for monopulse processing have these properties. This paper proposes the method using data from the difference channel for monopulse processing as data from auxiliary channel for sidelobe cancellation. For the proposed SLC, the results of simulation and performance analysis was presented. If the proposed method is used in the monopulse radar, SLC can be constructed by using basic SUM and difference channels without extra channel composition.

This paper proposes a new algorithm to cancel the acoustic feedback and noise signals in digital hearing aids. The proposed algorithm combines the feedback canceller to remove acoustic feedback signals and the noise canceller to reduce background noises. The feedback canceller is implemented by normal adaptive FIR filter, and the noise canceller is implemented by using the Wiener solution in frequency domain. This noise canceller has the transfer function presented by the power spectral density of signals. To verify the performances of the proposed algorithm, the simulations were carried out for the system. As the results of simulations, it was proved that we can advance 10.85dB output SNR on the average for the forward path gain of 0dB, and 11.04dB output SNR on the average for the forward path gain of 6dB, in the case of using the proposed algorithm.

In this paper, power line harmonic noise which is the most serious problem in the secondary power distribution line is eliminated and analyzed using adaptive noise cancellers with two adaptive algorithms, LMS and individual tap LMS(ITLMS) algorithm. To testify the improvement of data transmission characteristics made by the adaptive filter with two adaptive algorithms, BER was measured in DS spread spectrum communication system including the noise canceller.

In a passive sonar, the improvement of detection performance by using noise cancellation is usually a important problem. In this paper, we have analyzed the own-ship noise cancellation in the two operation modes which are used in the HMS system. In the operator mode, an adaptive line enhancer(ALE) is applied to improve the tonal detection by using broadband noise cancellation and the normalized least mean square(NLMS) algorithm is applied to the design of an adaptive filter. The reference input that is correlated with a primary input can be used to remove the noise incident on the observation directionin the automatic mode. Computer simulations with real sea that data show that the proposed adaptive noise canceller has good performance in passive detection under HMS operation.

Blood flow is one of vital signals related to human physiological information. Photoplethysmograph (PPG) has been used to measure indirectly heart rate, blood oxygen saturation ($SpO_2$), and so on. Because PPG signal is weak and sensitive to motion artifacts, it is very important to continuously obtain stable PPG signal during free movement. In this study, we applied the scaled Fourier linear combiner (SFLC) using both the adaptive filter and FLC to remove effectively the motion artifacts as well as background noise in the real time without additional signal correlated with motion from a accelerometer. The proposed method would be useful to reduce the movement and background noise which are not synchronized with heart rate.

There are strong ocean wave interference with big amplitude very low frenqencies are similar to the ship's hydrodynamic signals. To detect ship's hydrodynamic field will be faced various natural hydrodynamic interferences which are radom and the prior knowlege of which are not know. This paper proposes to use the adaptive noise cancelling principle and used the model of adaptive wave canceller to eliminate the ocean wave interfrence and detect the ship's hydrodynamic signals. Computer simulation results shown that signal to noise ratio can be raised from several to ten times. It shows the fact that this mathod can detect the ship's hydrodynamic signals from the strong ocean wave interferences while it is difficult for the old methods.

This paper focuses on the development of speech enhancement techniques for hands-free audio terminals, including two major problems : noise cancellation and acoustic echo cancellation. The objective is to find a joint structure to get a near-end speech signal with minimum distortion and low levels of echo and noise. To solve the two problems, a new promising technique is studied and tested in computer simulation conditions.
