Abstract

With the development of science and technology, the computing power of human electronic devices is increasing, which makes the application of array signal processing requiring large computing power in daily life possible. People have started to study and apply microphone array speech noise reduction technology. Microphone arrays can obtain spatial and temporal information of the signal while receiving speech signals, and the algorithm can use such information more flexibly to improve the noise reduction performance. In this paper, we introduce the adaptive noise reduction technology of microphone array for speech recognition, and optimize the RLS algorithm to design the QR-RLS algorithm without complex iterations. The simulation results show that the algorithm can effectively reduce noise for microphone array.
