Noise Cancellation System Based on Frequency Domain Adaptive Filter Using Modified DFT Pair

It is well known that a Frequency Domain Adaptive Filter (FDAF) converges faster than a Time Domain Adaptive Filter (TDAF) even when the input signal is colored such as a speech signal. We have proposed the FDAF using the Modified Discrete Fourier Transform Pair (MDFTP) and its realization and effectiveness has been confirmed through the computer simulations. In this paper, we apply the FDAF using the MDFTP to the noise cancellation system. The proposed system is based on the Adaptive Line Enhancer (ALE) and utilizes single microphone; therefore it is suitable for the portable electronic equipment. Moreover, we propose to utilize the MDFT for detecting of the pitch in the speech because the number of data points in the MDFT must be equal to the pitch to confirmed that the noise can be removed to near the level of SNR.
