Abstract

Adaptive echo cancellers are currently being studied for applications such as audio teleconference systems or hands-free telephone sets with high speech quality. The purpose of the echo control is to eliminate the acoustic feedback from the loudspeaker to the microphone.
One problem of echo cancellers using e.g. the normalized least mean square algorithm (NLMS) for the adaptation of the coefficients is that the convergence properties degrade with colored signal input such as speech signals [8, 9, 17]. One approach to accelerate the convergence speed is to introduce linear prediction filters in order to decorrelate the speech signal [1, 2, 12, 15, 20].
This paper presents a new approach, named the excited LMS algorithm or ELMS algorithm, which prewhitens the input signal applying perfect sequences. Coincidently, the proposed algorithm can be interpreted as a combination of the conventional NLMS algorithm and a system identification approach using m-sequences or related sequences.
