 TYPES OF ECHO
 ACOUSTIC ECHO :
 Depends on the quality & type of equipment
 Caused by direct & indirect feedback from speaker to
microphone

 HYBRID ECHO :
 primary source of echo generated from the public-switched telephone
network (PSTN).
 Problem Statement
• Acoustic Echo occurs when an audio source and sink
operate in full duplex mode (Ex: hands free loudspeaker
telephone in a vehicle)
• The output signal from loudspeaker is reverberated
through the physical environment and picked up by the
systems microphone
• The effect is the return to the distant user of time
delayed and attenuated images of their original speech
signal
 Audio Sources in a Vehicle

• Desired local speech

• Undesired direct coupling of remote speech
from speaker to microphone
• Undesired remote speech reflected from roof,
windscreen, side windows, etc.
• Undesired local speech reflected from roof,
windscreen, side windows, etc.
 OUR FOCUS
• The optimal output is an echoed signal that
accurately emulates the unwanted echo signal
• This is used to negate the echo in the return
signal
• We will use Adaptive filters as they can iteratively
alter their parameters in order to minimize the
error function
• We will implement Adaptive filtering algorithms
in MATLAB
