Abstract
This paper is on a stereo acoustic echo canceller with the blind signal separation. The convergence speed of the stereo acoustic echo canceller is deteriorated due to mixing two residual signals in the update signal of each echo canceller. To solve this problem, we are to use the blind signal separation(BSS) method separating the mixed signals. The blind signal separation method can extracts the source signals by means of the iterative computations with two input signals. We had verified performances of the proposed acoustic echo canceller for stereo through simulations. The results of simulations show that the acoustic echo canceller for stereo using this algorithm operates stably without divergence in the normal state. And, when the speech signals were inputted, this echo canceller achieved about 3dB higher ERLE in the case of using the BSS algorithm than the case of not using the BSS algorithm. But this echo canceller didn't get good performances in the case of inputting the white noises as stereo signals.
