Abstract

We have discussed the application of high-order adaptive filters to the problem of acoustical echo cancellation with particular application to hands free telephone systems. We described a means to achieve robust performance. We further presented methods for reducing computational complexity that allow implementation in low-cost, fixed-point digital signal processors. Progress in technology will allow the use of more sophisticated algorithms at lower cost in the near future
