Abstract
An apparatus includes a beamformer, an echo suppression control unit, and a residual echo cancellation unit. The beamformer is configured to pass desired portions of audio signals and to suppress undesired portions of the audio signals. The beamformer includes a speech blocking filter to prevent suppression of near-end desired talker speech in the audio signals and an echo suppression filter to suppress echo in the audio signals. An echo suppression control unit is coupled to the beamformer and receives signals and determines whether to dynamically adapt the speech blocking filter or to dynamically adapt the echo suppression filter. The speech blocking filter remains unchanged during dynamic adaptation of the echo suppression filter, and the echo suppression filter remains unchanged during dynamic adaptation of the speech blocking filter. The residual echo cancellation unit is coupled to the beamformer and receives output audio signals from the beamformer and further suppresses residual echo.
