Subband adaptive filtering with real-valued subband signals for acoustic echo cancellation

Adaptive filtering in subbands was originally proposed to overcome the limitations of conventional least-mean-square (LMS) algorithms. In general, subband adaptive filters offer computational savings, as well as faster convergence over the conventional LMS algorithm. However, improvements to current subband adaptive filters could be further enhanced by a more elegant choice of their design/structure. Classical subband adaptive filters employ DFT-based analysis and synthesis filter banks which results in subband signals that are complex-valued. The authors modify the structure of subband adaptive filters by using single-sideband (SSB) modulated analysis and synthesis filter banks, which result in subband signals that are real-valued. This simplifies the realisation of subband adaptive filters.
