Abstract

A complete acoustic echo cancellation system with double talk detection capability is presented in this paper. The proposed system includes a new acoustic echo canceller (AEC) based on the modulated lapped transform (MLT) domain adaptive structure and a robust two-stage double talk detector (DTD) to cope with MLT domain AEC. The proposed AEC achieves better signal decorrelation via orthogonal MLT of size 2N× N rather than N× N square orthogonal transform such as DCT, DFT, etc. Both the input signal and the desired response are modulated lapped transformed in order to reduce the adaptation error between them so that the signal adaptation is purely operated in MLT domain. As a complementary of this, a two-stage DTD is developed to stabilize the operation of the AEC. The proposed DTD has robust algorithm structure and it allows faster switching according to the talker state change.

Several simulation results with a synthetic and real speech are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed AEC and DTD. The proposed MLT based AEC proven to be very useful for the echo cancellation applications requiring high convergence speed and good echo attenuation. It can achieves faster convergence rate by more than twice over those of traditional DCT based AEC with an additional advantage of 10–15 dB ERLE improvement. On the other hand, a proposed two-stage DTD is shown to react quickly to both the onset and the end of the double-talk with reasonable high accuracy.
