In full-duplex communication systems where, by definition, both communication paths are open at all time, howling can be a serious issue. These echo, or coupling, paths create feedback loops. Howling can occur when there is a full-duplex communication link with echo at both ends. The AGC algorithm is used to automatically adjust the speech level of an audio signal so that the level falls within a user-defined output level range. Changes in gain can adversely affect an AEC Adaptive Digital’s HD AEC has the ability to adapt to changes in the acoustic path (including gain/loss changes.) And when the changes are known, like in the case of controlled gain changes, Adaptive Digital’s HD AEC has hooks that enable the application to tell it the nature of the gain change so it can adjust immediately rather than take time to reconverge.Īutomatic Gain Control (AGC) is provided to help boost lower level speech signals in hands-free environments. By making the AGC aware of the AEC state, we can avoid having the AGC becoming a cause of howling. Noise Reduction is done pre-NLP, resulting in a far cleaner audio stream feeding into the non-linear processor. *NR2 is not turned on.Īdaptive Digital Technologies’ high definition acoustic echo canceller ( HD AEC), has integrated Noise Reduction and AGC into its AEC algorithm and created appropriate hooks to make them work together seamlessly.
