A stable and distortion-free IIR echo and howling canceler

Abstract

The authors propose a configuration for an infinite impulse response (IIR) adaptive echo and howling canceller, which consists of a two-channel maximum entropy lattice filter and its inverse filter. The echo is canceled by the adaptive lattice filter, while the signal distortion is eliminated by the inverse lattice. With stability guaranteed without the necessity of testing, the structure costs O(N) multiplications per sampling period. The algorithm can also be greatly simplified for white input cases. >
