The 'WP010's acoustic echo cancellation function is based on a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter with an adaptive coefficient updating algorithm. The adaptive algorithm updates continuously so that it can constantly track acoustic path changes from the speaker to the microphone. Based upon FIR filter coefficients, the echo signal can be estimated and subtracted from the observed signal at the microphone. The acoustic echo cancellation function provides continuous adaptation and needs no initial system training. It is capable of canceling an echo path of up to 44 milliseconds and provides up to 30 dB cancellation for speech signals. In addition, the initial convergence rate is faster than 20 dB per second. The line echo cancellation function cancels the near-end speech that has been reflected at the network switch and transmitted back to the cellular phone. The principle of the line echo cancellation function is very similar to that of the acoustic echo cancellation function. The difference is that the line echo cancellation function is designed to cancel the echo signal caused by network feedback due to impedance mismatch in the network circuit. The line echo cancellation function is capable of canceling a line echo path of up to 16 milliseconds. The received signal at the microphone consists of the near-end speech signal, acoustic feedback echo, and ambient noise from the environment. The purpose of the adaptive noise suppression function is to suppress ambient noise components without distorting near-end speech. The initial adaptation rate is about 3 dB per second without initial system training. It tracks the changes of the noise characteristics and suppresses noise accordingly. The adaptive noise suppression provides up to 10 dB of noise cancellation without degrading near-end speech.
