Analysis of closed-loop acoustic feedback cancellation systems

In a previous study, the performance of an acoustic feedback/echo cancellation system was analyzed using a power transfer function method. Whereas the analysis result provides very accurate performance predictions in open-loop acoustic echo cancellation systems, it is less accurate in closed-loop acoustic feedback cancellation systems if there is a strong correlation between the loudspeaker signal and the signals entering the microphones. This work extends the performance analysis to include the effects of the nonzero correlation on the adaptive filters. Simulation results verify that this extension provides much more accurate performance predictions in closed-loop acoustic feedback cancellation systems.
