Theoretical Noise Reduction Limits of the Generalized Sidelobe Canceller (GSC) for Speech Enhancement

Kurzfassung:

In this paper we present an analysis of the generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC). It can be shown that the theoretical limits of the noise reduction performance depend only on the auto- and cross-spectral densities of the input signals. Furthermore, we compute the limits of the noise reduction performance for the theoretically determined diffuse noise ﬁeld, which is an approximation for re-
verberant rooms. Our results will show that the GSC cannot reduce noise further than 1dB. These results were veriﬁed by simulation of reverberant environments. Only in sound-proof rooms with a reverberation time less than 100ms the GSC performs well.
