Abstract:
A multi-channel acoustic echo canceller arrangement comprises a microphone (111) providing a microphone signal having contributions from at least two audio sources (107, 109) to be cancelled. An echo canceling circuit (113, 115) performs echo cancellation of the two audio sources (107, 109) based on channel estimates for channels from each of the audio sources (107, 109) to the microphone (111). An estimation circuit (117) generates each of the channel estimates as a combination of a previous channel estimate and a channel estimate update where the combination includes applying a relative weight to the channel estimate update relative to the previous channel estimate. A weight processor 119 varies the relative weight in response to a time value. The arrangement may provide improved echo-cancellation for scenarios wherein the rendering of sound from the audio sources (107, 109) is time varying, such as when time varying decorrelation filters are used.
