Abstract

See full text

A method and device for adaptive echo cancellation in a voice communication system wherein a reference signal x is sent over the system from a transmitting device and comprising an adaptive filter for removing any echo signal from a primary signal d received in answer to reference signal x, and said adaptive filter having a plurality of coefficients the value of which at each time n being computed from the value of the same coefficient at time n-1 modified by a normalization factor depending upon the energy of said reference signal and provided by a normalization factor controlling unit. The normalization factor is the maximum value between a first value representing the energy of reference signal x at time n and a second value depending on a value of the normalization factor previously stored during a preceding predetermined interval time multiplied by an attenuation factor less than 1.
