This paper proposes Echo canceller used in simultaneous two-way ('full-duplex') transmission of data signals over two-wire circuits which can be achieved by using a hybrid coupler. This Echo canceller uses sequential processing instead of parallel processing with conventional adaptive digital filter. This structure reduces the number of multipliers. Thus, this structure is much more suitable for IC implementation. This Echo canceller operates according to the 'Stochastic Iteration Algorithm(SIA).' SIA algorithm has merit of good performance and small hardware requirement.

An stereophonic acoustic echo canceller cannot exactly estimate the echo path in the receiving room, because of the cross-correlation between stereo signals. In this paper, the new preprocessing filter is proposed to reduce the cross-correlation between the signals without influence on stereophonic sound. Two channel signals are linearly decorrelated by using orthogonality principles and the attenuated absolute values of the decorrelated signals are added to each channel input signals. Assuming that the power of each channel signal is larger than that of the cross-correlation, computational burden is reduced.

본 논문에서는 적응 데이터 반향제거기(adaptive data-driven echo canceller)의 여러 구조에 대한 성능을 고찰한다. 우선 각 data-driven echo canceller (DDEC)의 시스템식을 일관성 있는 기준에 의하여 분류하고 연관성을 살펴본다. 특히, 본 논문에서 제안된 새로운 DDEC 알고리즘의 기존의 방법과의 차이점을 중점 기술한다. 또한 각 DDEC구조의 성능 및 복잡성을 비교 분석한다. 결과로서, 제안된 새로운 알고리즘이 성능이 우수할 뿐만아니라 복잡성 또한 적음을 입증하였으며 이를 시뮬레이션을 통하여 확인하였다.

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 filters cannot exactly estimate the echo path of the receiving room because of the cross-correlation of stereo signals. In this paper, a new pre-processing method reducing the cross-correlation without degradation of stereophony is proposed to enhance the performance of stereophonic acoustic echo canceller. To reduce the cross-correlation, absolutes of two orthogonal signals derived from each channel signals are added to original channel signals. Assuming that the power of each channel signal is larger than that of the cross-correlation, the computation of pre-processing can be reduced. As results of simulations, it is shown that the performance of stereo acoustic echo canceller with the proposed pre-processing method is better than that of conventional ones.

In stereo acoustic echo canceller scheme, coefficients of adaptive filter converge very slowly or misconverge to real acoustic echo path in receiving room. This is due to cross-correlation in stereo signals. In this paper, a new preprocess algorithm is proposed to improve the performance of stereo AEC(acoustic echo canceller) without computational burden. The proposed algorithm reduces cross-correlation using Gram-Schmidt orthogonality principles and nonlinear filtering. Computer simulations demonstrate that this algorithm performs well compared to conventional ones. When the acoustic path of transmitting room is changed, stereo AEC using proposed algorithm is well performed.

This paper investigates the design and performance of a digital on-channel repeater (DOCR) for use in Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) digital television (DTV) broadcasting. The main drawback of a DOCR is the echo interference caused by coupling between transmitter and receiver antennas, which induces system instability and performance degradation. In order to overcome this problem, an echo canceller based on the adaptive echo channel estimation (ECE) technique has been researched and applied for a DOCR. However, in the case of ATSC, the pilot signal, which is used for carrier synchronization, may cause a DC offset error and reduce the isolation performance of the echo canceller for a DOCR in an ATSC network. Moreover, since the multipath fading effect of a radio channel usually occurs in a real environment, it should be minimized to improve the overall performance of a DOCR. Therefore, due to the limited isolation performance of echo canceller and the multipath fading effect, an interference cancellation system (ICS) is proposed for a DOCR in an ATSC network. The performance of the proposed DOCR with an ICS is evaluated by software simulation and hardware test results.

This paper describes the realization of a rela-time adaptive acoustic echo canceller, which adopts a microprogramming method, for removing acoustical echoes in speakerphone systems using th eADSP-2101 microprocessor with a pipeline and modified harvard architecture. We apply the LMS (least mean square) algorithm to estimate the coefficients of a transversal FIR filter. For the acustic adaptive echo canceller, we propose a parallel operation programming to imrove algorithm execution speed and apply a nonlinear quantization to reduce the quantization error caused by large dynamic range of voice signal.

We propose the robust PBFLMS in noises, which is the enhanced acoustic echo canceller using ACPBF-LMS(Alternative Constrained Partitioned Block Frequency domain Least Mean Square) algorithm. The defect of the block structure filtering is the deterioration of convergence efficiency from noise and interference. To improve the performance of convergence efficiency, noise effect should be reduced. The new method of reducing noise effect is proposed, which apply the estimated background noise to adaptive filter step size. By experiments, the proposed acoustic echo canceller has TCL of 50dB, and always provides faster convergence speed and lower complexity than the full-tap NLMS. We also carried out an implementation of PBFLMS using ARM9EJ-S.
