The invention relates to an acoustic echo suppressor and a non-linear processor for an echo canceller in a 4-wire data transmission network. An echo canceller is typically controlled by comparing the power levels of the near-end and far-end signals. The transfer function of an acoustic echo path is usually very non-uniform. According to the invention, the spectrum of the far-end signal is treated, before the signal power level is calculated, with a weighted filter, which models the effect of the transfer function of acoustic echo. As a result, the double talk dynamics is improved, since high-energy vowels of far-end speech, which normally cause low-energy vowels of near-end speech to be clipped in an echo suppresseor, will be attenuated. |
