摘要： A method for detecting echo path changes in an echo canceller using the statistics of the echo canceling behavior (i.e. signal and performance information), to distinguish between new line and double talk conditions. A moving counter is incremented or decremented based on monitored levels of ERL (Echo Return Loss), ERLE (Echo Return Loss Enhancement), noise and signal energies. When the counter reaches a predetermined threshold value indicative of sustained poor echo cancellation performance, a determination is made that there is a probable new line condition (i.e. echo path change). This echo path change information is then passed to the echo canceller to enable re-convergence.

摘要： The present invention relates generally to tone detection in echo canceling systems, and more particularly to a method of monitoring oscillations of adaptive filter coefficients for narrow band tone detection in echo cancellation systems. The invention is directed at improving communication in a telephone communication network having one or more hybrid connections. A method for detecting continuous tones in an echo canceling system having an adaptive filter is provided. Continuous tones have a deleterious effect on the performance of adaptive filters. In the present invention, the adaptive filter coefficients are monitored. Oscillation of those coefficients indicates continuous tone presence.

摘要： An echo canceling system has an adaptive filter connected to an echo source, for canceling echo from an echo path. A fixed echo conditioning filter is connected in series with the adaptive filter, intermediate the echo source and the adaptive filter. The fixed echo conditioning filter cancels the constant part of the echo path using a measured impulse response of the echo path.

摘要： Technology for dynamic characterization of a communication device is disclosed. One method comprises sending an acoustic characterization excitation signal to be output by an acoustic transducer in the communication device. A received acoustic coupling signal that is received by a microphone of the communication device in response to the output of the acoustic transducer is measured. An acoustic signal conditioning algorithm is applied to at least one of the microphone or the acoustic transducer to reduce an amplitude of the acoustic signal or the received acoustic coupling signal to a level below a selected threshold.

摘要： A method of selecting an optimum impedance for a loop start trunk line, comprising successively applying respective ones of a plurality of impedance settings to the loop start trunk line, for each impedance setting measuring the impulse response of the trans-hybrid echo path by applying audio test signals to obtain a time-domain trans-hybrid transfer function and deriving a frequency-domain spectrum representative of trans-hybrid loss, and then calculating figure of merit of the transfer function based on the power spectrum. Once all impedance settings have been tested, the optimum impedance is selected as the impedance setting associated with the highest calculated figure of merit.

摘要： A method of determining residue-echo threshold for the trans-hybrid echo path of a loop start (LS) trunk line, comprising the steps of estimating the impulse response of the trans-hybrid echo path, passing a speech-like signal through the LS trunk circuit and collecting the echo signal. The collected echo signal is compared to the convolution of the speech-like signal with the estimated impulse response. The difference between the convolution result and the collected echo signal is the residue echo, which represents the effect of nonlinearity. With different levels of excitation signal, a curve of residue echo power level against input signal level is obtained, and the distortion characteristics are derived from this curve.
