Overview

Stereo Frequency domain subband adaptive filter

Discussion

Subband based stereo echo canceler. This module works in conjunction with the WOLA filterbank modules. The module has two input pins. The first input is a single channel microphone signal while the second is a stereo reference signal.

At instantiation time you specify the length of each subband filter. Then at run time, you specify the number of taps currently used. This allows you to easily vary the filter length at run time and verify performance and CPU load.

The module has optional residual noise suppression which is enabled via the enableRNS variable. By default, residual noise suppression is on and the output of the echo canceler (the error signal) is further reduced in level. The residual noise suppression is configured by a 7 element interpolation table. This table operates just like the Table X-Y module with configurable (X, Y) lookup points. The lookup table specifies values in dB for the input and output function
