Abstract
A sign-based decorrelation detection and adaptive control arrangement includes structure for detecting cross-correlation between a far-end signal and an echo residual following a balance filter. During the adaptive process, if the detected correlation value is below a certain threshold, indicating that the two signals are decorrelated, the adaptation of the balancing filter is stopped. At such a point, proper echo cancellation has been achieved. Conversely, when the detected correlation value exceeds a threshold, the adaptation is ,continued until the correlation value falls below the threshold again. In any event, such decorrelation controllers are able to detect signal decorrelation and to control adaptation even in the presence of a double-talker condition.
