description
For the cellular phone cradle market, the TMS320WP010 provides enhanced quality, full-duplex, hands-free
communications. The ’WP010 is a ROM-coded DSP that provides all the adaptive filtering and processing
necessary for acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), line echo cancellation (LEC), and adaptive noise suppression
(ANS).
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.
