Abstract

A method and apparatus for performing subband adaptive filtering is proposed. A signal is prefiltered by a set of complementary filters to provide corresponding subbands of the input signal. The subbands of the signal are then provided to adaptive filters that filter the subbands separately. The individually filtered subbands are then summed. In an exemplary implementation an echo canceller is presented which employs the subband filtering method and apparatus.
