Inhalt:
We describe a combined nonlinear acoustic echo cancellation and residual echo suppression system. The echo canceler uses parallel Hammerstein branches consisting of fixed nonlinear basis functions and linear adaptive filters. The residual echo suppressor uses an Artificial Neural Network for modeling of the residual echo spectrum from spectral features computed from the far-end signal. We show that modeling nonlinear effects both in the echo canceler and in the echo suppressor leads to an increased performance of the combined system.
