A 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.
