摘要:
A zero-delay structure to be used in sub-band echo cancellation systems. In telecommunications, a delay is usually introduced in sub-band decomposition and/or sub-band reconstruction. This invention will help remove this. This structure not only removes the delay but does not sacrifice the performance of the echo canceller. It is to be used in combination with any sub-band-based echo canceller or wavelet echo canceller.
摘要:
An echo canceller comprising a first wavelet decomposition block for decomposing a reference signal into a plurality of reference wavelet packets; a second wavelet decomposition block for decomposing an echo signal into a plurality of echo signal packets; an adaptive filter bank for receiving and filtering the reference wavelet packets and in response generating a plurality of filtered output packets replicating the echo signal packets; a plurality of subtracters for receiving and subtracting respective ones of the filtered output packets from the echo signal packets and in response generating and applying a plurality of error signals to the adaptive filter bank for modifying the transfer function of the adaptive filter bank; and a wavelet reconstruction block for receiving and reconstructing the error signals to form a residual signal from which the echo signal has been cancelled. Optimum wavelet filters for the best echo cancellation are provided, as are two wavelet echo cancellation structures.
摘要:
A nonlinear processor (NLP) for selectively removing or reducing residual echo signals from an acoustic echo canceller associated with a telephony terminal is provided. Low level background noise and near end speech signals pass through the NLP structure substantially unaltered. Distortion, background noise above a preset threshold and echo signals including long duration echoes are replaced with a linear combination of previous noise data.

A method of canceling echo signals in a telephone network operating in a double talk mode has been developed. A system for implementing the method is also presented. In the invention the conventional normalized least mean square (NLMS) algorithm for echo cancellers is modified such that echo path changes continue to be tracked even after a double talk condition has been detected. The modified algorithm, known herein as a double-talk normalized least mean square (DNLMS) algorithm adaptively adjusts the convergence rate based on the power difference between the echo signal or the residual signal and the far end signal.
摘要:
A symbol synchronization and timing recovery method for stabilizing jitter in a data receiver is provided. A one tap LMS algorithm is used for a pre-cursor estimate. A dead zone is set around the desired timing location and the local clock in the receiver is updated only if the timing signal is outside of the dead zone.
摘要:
A digital progess tone detector, for connection to a telephone line and a PABX, comprising circuitry for generating one or more reference tones having user definable frequencies and performing single frequency discrete Fourier transforms on one or more signals received from the telephone line at the defined frequencies, and providing an output signal to the PABX in response thereto. The output signal provides an indication of whether or not a predetermined one or more progress tone frequencies have been detected in the received signals. Because the generated reference tone frequencies are user definable, the present invention can be easily adapted for use in various foreign countries having different progress tone frequency requirements. A preferred embodiment of the invention is implemented on a single microcomputer chip in conjunction with peripherals (such as codecs, crosspoint switches, etc.). The progress tone detector is simple, small and inexpensive, thus conforming to the miniaturization and cost efficiency requirements of modern day PABX circuits.

A circuit for applying a predetermined algorithm to an input signal, has an input for receiving the input signal, a signal processing device for processing the input signal in accordance with the predetermined algorithm, and a device for outputting the processed signal. The signal processing device incorporates distributed bit-serial logic circuits to implement the predetermined algorithm.
摘要:
A digital loudspeaking telephone for connection to a telephone line, including a microphone, speaker, codec and digital signal processor. Incoming and outgoing signals are received by the digital signal processor from remote and local subscribers via the telephone line and microphone respectively. The processor generates and compares incoming and outgoing envelope and noise floor signal levels derived from the received incoming and outgoing signals and in response suppresses a particular compared, and one of the incoming or outgoing signals. Automatic gain control of outgoing signals is implemented in order to allow smooth switching of the outgoing signals and to suppress background noise from being transmitted by the microphone. Room echo and reverberation are also detected, and the processor eliminates spurious channel switching due to the detected echo signals.
