A novel perspective on stereophonic acoustic echo cancellation

The stereophonic acoustic echo is due to the coupling between two loudspeakers and two microphones. In the classical approach, this configuration is modelled by a two-input/two-output system with real random variables. In this paper, we propose to redesign this scheme as a single-input/single-output system with complex random variables. In this framework, we illustrate the behavior of some basic adaptive algorithms and present a distortion method which is more suitable for this model.
