Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for acoustic echo canceling. In one embodiment, a system for canceling acoustic echoes comprises one or more microphones configured to pick up sound generated by a sound source and transferred from the sound source to the one or more microphones via one or more unknown transfer paths having one or more unknown transfer functions, and to provide one or more electrical microphone signals therefrom, one or more adaptive filters for approximating the one or more unknown transfer functions with one or more estimated transfer functions and filtering one or more electrical signals representative of the sound generated by the sound source with the one or more estimated transfer functions to provide one or more estimated signals therefrom, and a microphone calibration block configured to individually attenuate or amplify the one or more electrical microphone signals dependent on the one or more estimated transfer functions.
