Study on Combining Multi-Channel Echo Cancellers with Beamformers

Autoren:

Kurzfassung:

In this paper, we will compare different combinations of
a multi-channel non-adaptive noise reduction unit (NRU)
and an acoustic echo cancellation unit (AEC) for a standard
single-channel voice transmission. The results show that
the NRU and the AEC-unit can be interchanged without increasing
the computational complexity of the combined system.
The length of an AEC’s adaptive filter can be greatly
reduced, if a multi-channel AEC-unit in front of a multichannel
NRU is used. Furthermore, the control information,
like the step-size of the NLMS-algorithm, has to be
computed only once.
