Abstract

This paper addresses the field of stereophonic acoustic echo cancellation (SAEC) by adaptive filtering algorithms. Recently, we have proposed a new version of the fast Newton transversal FNTF algorithm for SAEC applications. In this paper, we propose an efficient modification of this algorithm for the same applications. This new algorithm uses a new proposed and simplified numerical stabilization technique and takes into account the cross-correlation between the inputs of the channels. The basic idea is to introduce a small nonlinearity into each channel that has the effect of reducing the inter-channel coherence while not being noticeable for speech due to self masking. The complexity of the proposed algorithm does not alter the complexity of the original version and is kept less than half the complexity of the fastest two-channel FTF filter version. Simulation results and comparisons with the extended two-channel normalized least mean square NLMS and FTF algorithms are presented.
