Recently, a partitioned-block-based frequency-domain Kalman filter (PFKF) has been proposed for acoustic echo cancellation. Compared with the normal frequency-domain Kalman filter, the PFKF utilizes the partitioned-block structure, resulting in both fast convergence and low time-latency. We present an analysis of the steady-state behavior of the PFKF and found that it suffers from a biased steady-state solution when the filter is of deficient length. Accordingly, we propose an effective modification that has the benefit of the guaranteed optimal steady-state behavior. Simulations are conducted to validate the improved performance of the proposed method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
