Abstract

An adaptive noise cancellation device comprises: convolution logic (10) for convolving the signal from a reference input (x) with a discretized L-tap filter to form a filtered reference signal; and logic (20) for subtracting the filtered reference signal from a signal input to form an output signal; logic for generating the filter taps as a linear combination of N basis functions each having a corresponding coefficient C.sub.k ; and logic for repeatedly determining the coefficients C.sub.k which minimize the power in the output signal (z), characterized in that N is less than the number of filter taps L and the basis functions have respective values over a portion of finite width, outside of which portion the functions are substantially zero, both in the frequency and time domains, in an embodiment they are gaussian. A full-duplex speakerphone is disclosed including such a noise cancellation device.
